Impulser: Darkness though light
My light and my life
provided me hope for a future,
a reason to live and the strength to exist.
Suddenly extinguished,
taken away without warning.
I was abandoned,
left in the darkness
trying to survive
searching for any glimmer
on the distant horizon.
taken away without warning.
I was abandoned,
left in the darkness
trying to survive
searching for any glimmer
on the distant horizon.
I stand precariously
on a piece of solid ground
barely large enough for my feet.
Around me, a vast expanse
of desolation and emptiness
for as far as I can tell.

Around me, a vast expanse
of desolation and emptiness
for as far as I can tell.
It waits
with extending arms
with extending arms
to engulf and surround me
in a permanent shadow.
in a permanent shadow.
I remain tenuously balanced
on this small bit of solid footing
Providing me the last vestiges of hope,
Unsure where to turn
or how to find an escape.

Unsure where to turn

No path in sight,
it has decayed into the abyss.
No light to guide my footsteps,
it has been withdrawn.

No light to guide my footsteps,

In complete blackness
I close my eyes
waiting to fall.
I close my eyes
waiting to fall.
A light appears before me
no,
from within me.

from within me.
I discover
a brilliance inside
An internal source of strength,
power and illumination.

This force surges through mybody
filling me with courage.
I open my eyes once more inthe darkness
finally lose my balance,
and descend
into the eternal night.

I open my eyes once more inthe darkness
finally lose my balance,
and descend
into the eternal night.
But in falling, I discover
that I possess wings.
that I possess wings.
With new courage, my own light,
and wings to save me
from the everlasting darkness
I take flight
high above the waiting chasm
towards a faint glimmer far on the horizon
and wings to save me
from the everlasting darkness
I take flight
high above the waiting chasm
towards a faint glimmer far on the horizon
and hope.

Sårt,vakkert,nydelig.
Draumen bakanfor
draumen
bakanfor draumen
at det enno
er noko att
ein soloppgang
eindoggfrisk morgon
ei hand som
varsamt opnar seg
og tar imot.
