The Twilight That Is Life (CHZ)

Let these new eyes stray wider,

That they may stroke all in this light.

I must see all there is to see,

Ere the day turn me to stone again.

It'll sweep over me till I see no more,

Then again to leave me in its ebb.

Only now between the black and white,

Will I by neither be overwhelmed.

I would outrun the course of the spheres,

For they move but for this fleetingness;

But cease not to turn me over,

Till I know not which way's where.

Any moment it may be over forever;

The sooner the more I hold on to it.

But at least I've seen you once;

Were I to die I will have lived.

My world sways through its zone,

For just one more breath of life.

Between the hope and despair,

Of burning sun and freezing space.
