The Shiniest Moon

I lay hidden within this casket of my youth,
Wasting my days sitting before my past;
It is like an empty void, there is nothing there
To remember - is there anything here at all?

I see the mysty darkness all around me as I sit here,
In this wooden crate where I am trapped like the animal
That wishes to get out and ravage the world
With the passion that is hidden deep within.

I hear a gentle murmur inside my mind telling me to leave
This place - the place that entraps me.
All I see is darkness between the cracks of my eyes,
Between the cracks of my casket, I see nothing.

A gentle myst sweeps against my cheek and massages my eyes,
Then I notice I am not alone - a single moon beam enters my sight -
From the cracks it enters my mind that she stands there:
My only vision of beauty that I see - she stands there before me.

I slept in darkness for centuries, not knowing where I stood,
Not knowing where I slept, not knowing what to do if I could.
My body was nothing but wood and cracks and a burning smell,
My heart a frozen chill away from inexistence.

Then I see the gentle moonlight shining through the window;
and it peers into my soul, looking straight into my heart.
I can see that there is hope afterall as that she stands there;
She is the shining moonlight that sparkles in my eye.
