When the light goes out
The pupil gets bigger
Window to the soul
Celestial vigor
Blinking in the void
Eyes in the abyss
Left in the darkness
When vision is eclipsed

Past-life fading
When the light goes out
World disappears
Existence in a doubt
Eyes once searching
Losing all account
Till the mind paints a picture
For it cannot do without

Trying to remember
Cannot quite recall
When the light goes out
You lose all your resolve
World disfigured
In a moment of withdrawal
Memory’s creation
Leaving you appalled

Who am I really
What am I about
Am I still beautiful
When the light goes out
Is there a place...
