Ursula

I'm on the edge of darkness
As the horizon tips towards the unseen sun
I'm on the verge of greatness
The blinding light reminds me we are one

And I look down below me
To gaze upon my old familiar form
In a dream that only I see
I release my shadow kite into the storm

Only in silence
Only in dark
Only in dying
Empty sky

Frantic hands surround me
Panicked, they plan to pull me back to earth
And whispers of past memories
Hold a distant promise of rebirth

But then I see you smiling
You look just like you did before you left
Now I know that I'm not dying
As I step forward and take a final breath

Only in silence, the word
Only in dark, the light
Only in dying, life
Bright the hawk's flight on an empty sky
