    Intimate Shadow - part II - The Answer

He opened the tent, breathless...
It took him a moment to come to his senses.
He asked himself, not once, not twice,
If this was the endless dream of his glimerring eyes.

Fireflies! Covering the woods, little wandering starlights.
The body was weak, his heart, set ablaze with the dance of the highlights.
He reached for support, his hands found the skin of a familiar tree.
Caressing its body he stood up, embracing what truly believed that is free.

He did it! He was finally soaring! Son of the Morning, Master of Change.
Oh, how joyful he was, the language of nature was no longer strange.
No bondage, no promises, just knowing, all that there is... will be.
The first cries of a baby, born in the abyss of the infinite sea.

And I...well, you know me, I am bound to regret, like a child to the whispers of his mothers lips.
I walk proud on the podium, drinking from the glass of sparkly admirations.
I live for what ''They say'', I am the dioxide by the carbon.
The kaleidoscope, the lighthouse, observing the world thru My image.

Glorious dungeons, pillars engraved with lust and deception.
Laser lights and neon cocktails. I drive fast stopping to nobody.
I always speak the truth, desperately created for your entertainment.
I would do anything, anything to feel loved by the lack of my presence.

And now, he wants to leave me behind, always so kind.
He says he is going out of his mind, looking for something to find.
A cave, a forest, a whole universe insght the feathers of the eagle's might.
Behold, dear wanderer, did you forget that I am always ready to fight?
