As the darkness consumes and the light grows dimmer
I hear the thousands of restless souls on Earth.
They beg me to bring them to the light.
I want to help them and light their darken path,
...
The nest is getting so fragile
And at the next wind blow,
Wings will spread and the flight will begin
But the fear makes me search
...
I walk a thin line of white and black,
But courage and strength are qualities I do not lack
If I have to walk this shade of grey alone,
I will do it with my head held high and a back of stone.
...
I Will Consume Shadows
As the darkness consumes and the light grows dimmer
I hear the thousands of restless souls on Earth.
They beg me to bring them to the light.
I want to help them and light their darken path,
But as their paths fill with the light my unscarred soul gives,
My own path turns to a shade of grey.
The power and light no longer embraces me.
Instead I look up to see a crowd of souls,
Glowing brighter than the difference of Ixchel and Hunahpu.
I look down at my reflection, in a lifeless lake,
Unable to stand the blinding glow the souls now possess.
In the reflection I am a stranger of grey,
And my aura is filled with shadows.
The shadows I consumed from the restless souls.
Now their paths burn bright and they will find peace.
I am no longer bright, for I carry the burdens of a thousand souls.
But, my shoulders are strong and peace will someday come to me.
For now, thousands of peaceful souls for one restless…
That is a sacrifice I willingly took, but the glowing reward was worth my now scarred soul.
