Carbon Star

I haven't an idea what to say. This was written months ago and very hastily.

 

If you spent a moment in quiet rapture

Speaking thoughts to a night that doesn't hear

Would the wind carry your fearful revelation?

Or would the calm dark swallow the effort in relief?

 

Would you believe such an obligation present?

I might be despondent for fear of responsibility calling

Out of the shadows where there is no wish to venture

Footsteps are a peculiar thing, leaving more than imprints in the sand

 

May you follow behind to erase where I have been

So that not a soul could find me in my indecision

To find a smooth stone and some reason

You might regret the rock's unnoticed death

 

I've heard the most brilliant stars blind then die

A dramatic passing that goes unnoticed for untold years

Such a thing is not meant to last, only so much energy

Two paths, two options, are you asking which is the less painful?

 

We’ve both damaged much in the little years

Those things now reside in the back of a hidden mind

I've inquired to a hope; I wish the easier path was held in favor

But invisibility cannot cover essence or conviction

 

The granite and the diamond compose the form before you

Such opposites create a whole, though not without torment

A muddled pool of clarity and opaqueness will lie bare

Another soul will soon understand it, while we both will disappear
