The Eve of Being

Tonight, on the Eve of Being

I approach the light

Like none I've ever seen

Hid behind the tide

Its surfaces, its sheen

I gave up the fight

And let it enter me

I used to think the world

Was my truest friend

The glamor that beguiles

The pleasures without end

I savored every pearl

Save one without a price

And when they all were gone

I opened up my eyes - to find

That its all a disguise

See beyond the dream

When the Real is reprised

On the Eve of Being
