Countdown to the New Beginning

i'm seeing stars drowning in the ocean

and rainbows tangled into nooses

and burned out hope


i'm seeing wishes floating away

and never coming true


dead on arrival


but

but

but


there are stars blooming like flares

in the black

rainbows tearing apart the damning grey

to burst

joyfully

through


and hope

born again


every wish i've ever made

come true


i see the darkness trying

trying

trying to crush us


but


the light


i see the light triumphing

every time i look again


so look again
