The Starlight Shore

I allowed myself to see eternity

on the edge of the end of it all

for a moment it seemed clear to me

yet it felt like I might fall

Holding curtains red as flame

and snowy white as steam

I was never the same

for it was not just a dream

and the needles hot

pierced my heart

a deep ringing shot

tore the night apart

i saw the last of the earth

fade far into an abyss

Like a premature birth

I was too small for this

yet there I beheld

the starlight shore

and somehow I felt

I had been here before

spirit sentry

guiding light

brought me nearer

to eternal sights

and then I fell

with a hopeless thud

back to the hell

of all that was
