A butterfly floats on the breeze of a sun lit day   As I feel this reality gently fade away   Riding on a thought to see where it's from   Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come   Smoke paints the air   Swirling images through my mind   Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind   And I stand at the edge cautiously awaiting   As time slips by   Carefully navigating by the stars in the sky   And I sit   And I think to myself   And on the horizon the sun light begins to climb   And it seems like it's been so long since he shined   But I'm sure it was only yesterday      A cold chill of fear cut through me   I felt my heart contract   To my mind I brought the image of light   And I expanded out of it   My fear was just a shadow   And then I voice spoke in my head   And she said dark is not the opposite of light   It's the absence of light   And I thought to myself   She knows what she's talking about   And for a moment I know   What it was all about.
