Lux

Are you illuminated?
Or are you a prisoner
to the shadows of your soul?
Do you fight and struggle
until you are past your limit,
or do you wilt and fade
without trying?
Do you fear the monsters
both within and without?
Do you listen to the song of the stars,
the cadence of time,
the rhythm of the earth?
Can you feel the pulse
of a fading echo?
I can.
I am almost fearless,
but I am an abyss.
The only thing I am afraid of
is those who fear the unknown.
