I know secrets of marble; The kisses I've known of mercury were A diamond-hard pearl, though impervious, Bears memories etched The gilded wires hide darkness Yet there the sun-flame a lyric sings Though I feel like an object Though I'm blinded, something still thinks... Eyes suddenly unveiled, Gone the innocence, with the fragrant lace I shroud myself in my wings and I turn into a white pearl The sun is beckoning to me,
A warm sea's lying at my feet Then all at once a prod, Within a part that was unknown to me I cannot turn these thoughts off, Like a screen when the eyes smart End of the world, not yet of my path I still have to dart down Shedding off my fear and my pain I see Now I can see through the waves And then a sudden enlightening There was more than the eye met But as I'm slowly sinking I can feel no regret...
