Light Undetected

An ember of a thought ignored but still it smolders The sneaking of its sounds leaves you peeking over shoulders The candle starts to flicker as the room is getting colder While the wick is running faster towards the shaking candleholder With just a shift of perspective to the light undetected You'll soon be directed on a path unexpected Where the dreams of the night come alive in the light And then the fruit of your mind is reunited with sight Who am I when I gaze up to the sky The stars are staring back to me but won't look in my eye Where I'll go depends where all the water flows But you'll be telling me the way, a path I did not know What I'll find when I see you down the line Is how you showed the world to me, adrift on made up time When I look to you for things I want to do I see a million waves are crashing, somehow none are touching you The shadow unshackled can wander unfettered And ponder the world and the things that make it better Though all things will blow to the changing of the weather And shadows will go where they all connect together And then the wind shifts direction, midst a lapse in attention And the dim lit projection disappears without mention From the shadows once cast, their faded apparition Has become intertwined with the human condition Who am I when I gaze up to the sky The stars are staring back to me but won't look in my eye Where I'll go depends where all the water flows But you'll be telling me the way, a path I did not know What I'll find when I see you down the line Is how you showed the world to me, adrift on made up time When I look to you for things I want to do I see a million waves are crashing, somehow none are touching you Who am I when I gaze up to the sky The stars are staring back to me but won't look in my eye Where I'll go depends where all the water flows But you'll be telling me the way, a path I did not know What I'll find when I see you down the line Is how you showed the world to me, adrift on made up time When I look to you for things I want to do I see a million waves are crashing, somehow none are touching you
