Gliding on my tears I reach for stars.
That ocean of emotions swelled by the torrential phases of life
Ready to break all the barriers to embrace everything coming along its way.
When impulse of sorrow beats high in stormy heart
Anguished by its own insatiable appetite for perceived suffering
It feeds on my pain and folly
Sinking deep I try to grapple in this valley of darkness
Where endurance looses its face
Here moon lit nights and sunlit days hide from reason
But its boundaries are as vast and infinite as my imagination
So I glide back from that ocean of darkness
And reach for open sky
In its blessing I seek brilliance of sunshine
To wash me dry and hold me together
