The lights seem to go on forever
in the spaces between waking souls
rising out of dreams of electric highways
all the roads of iron and silk
twisting together through the maze
A neverending flow deeper to the nexus
to the source of shadow and light
And all the voices cry out for a better way
as they cling to the nightmare edge
of a drop into screaming abyss
waiting for something still and quiet to take hold
and rend the walls of light
turn them blinding, then extinguished
Only a flame left burning in each heart
now letting go of the edge and finally falling

Is it odd that I’m sometimes not sure if I enjoy or despise the feeling of nostalgia?
