A Thought in the Night

In a burst of paradox and flame
I harken to my warring mind,
Revealing nothing but a stark reverence
For irreverence of sparring voices -
Their awful two-sidedness, born from
Flawed yet thoughtful reasoning.

I watched as the Earth split, saw
The narcissist - reflected in the abyss.
My mind went blank and starless
The universe I saw reflected in me
Was nothing but dark and lonely -
No star reflected the smile nor tears
No light passed through my webbed hands.
Losing myself in the never-to-end darkness
The unknown night crept on.
