The morning air unlocks the gloom
While whimsical strings conjure a tune
Slight of hand
As he began
What trickery is this that arises?
As despair steals in and surprises
Alas a shattered broken spell
As once, a humbled man did tell
Now lost in ego
As darkness steels light
Pain incensed startled fright
Daylights’ offer reveals the absurd
For darkness succeeds the tempting lure
