Towards The Absence Of Light

With newly found vigor
With copper flowing within
Let the new process begin
To unveil this masterpiece

But behind the curtain
Treacherous steps
Impending cataclysm
Usher in this downfall

For a moment there, I lost focus
And fell down those spiraling stairs
And for a brief moment there
I let it all slip

Further, further down
Deeper, deeper within

Even further down
Further, further away

In the absence of light
Destitute of any vision
From shivering soil
A beacon of silver

Up from the ground
A shining pedestal
Raising this shell
Towards the surface

Again with newly found vigor
Clad all in silver robes
Let the process continue
To unveil this masterpiece

For a moment there, I lost focus
And fell down those spiraling stairs
And for a brief moment there
I let it all slip
