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
