Onyx taking what was given
a substrate smothered, suffocated
taking and forming
building a shining soul
Newly formed and lustrous
becoming a jewel from layers thrown
a broken threshold a flash
The lights in an instant are stole
both sides to the light
to be formed in the dark
to face layers and come out glowing
Destroyed in a moment
of ongoing torment
The running waters want to go not knowing
Another star blooms in tension
when the tether is cut
rising out of the horror we’re facing
the night folds around
and holds out the beauty
so we can see one last love embracing
