Looking for my light
In the dark maze of the night,
I feel alone and without direction,
looking for my light among the shades
that hold me with their oppression.
The moon is a white sore
that bleeds over my way;
its light grazes me, but does not adore me,
it is cold, distant and without sway.
The full moon is my mute witness
of my pain and my uncertain fate;
it keeps glowing, like a distant bliss,
but it cannot give me warmth or state.
In the lake of my bright dreams,
my reflection is drawn without identity.
I am a shadow of long streams
that looks at itself in the mirror of vanity.
Who am I in this careless world?
What sense does my wandering course hold?
Where is my light that I crave so bold?
How can I find my shining gold?
I do not give up, nor do I yield to dismay;
I keep looking for that spark, my ray,
the one that burns in my chest, my heart,
and gives me life, gives me strength and art.
And then I go on with more bravery,
knowing that one day I will find what I crave.
