Moonbeam silvers leaves
Sunlight edges waves
Dragon's breath shrouds lofty peaks
Beauty soon swallowed within shadow
When shadow descends
The mind bends
around self-centred singularity
Laughter spreads joy
Love softens fear
Faith in self illuminates future
Drown in dead heart's fathomless depths
Once light shadow dispels
One tries to make well
Selfishness' collateral slaughter
Plans for study and career
Dreams of friendship and family
Ephemeral joys once loved so much
All futile aspirations spoken hollowly
Wait for shadow's inevitable return
Those cycles that coldly burn
On pyre of ultimate selfishness
The mind bends
around self-centred singularity
Laughter spreads joy
Love softens fear
Faith in self illuminates future
Drown in dead heart's fathomless depths
Once light shadow dispels
One tries to make well
Selfishness' collateral slaughter
Plans for study and career
Dreams of friendship and family
Ephemeral joys once loved so much
All futile aspirations spoken hollowly
Wait for shadow's inevitable return
Those cycles that coldly burn
On pyre of ultimate selfishness
