Nothing is at is seems
nothing is at it appears
as nothing is real
Niente è come sembra, Franco Battiato

Everyone has a ring
to bear alone
A mission to complete
before it’s dawn
it slowly takes away
some bits of soul
But shines the light of life
to our empty cores.

To follow this beam
is the only truth I know
everything else is illusory
the common appearances disappear
all phenomena extinguish
merging with the void.
Stepping off the track
would lead to this vacuum.

While walking on the path
Hints will appear
Suggesting if you are elected
The light will unites with the space
becoming one thing, inseparable
You will feel your mass
resonating with the space-time,
the mesh of reality

Sometimes I wish
I had someone
to share this weight
but suddenly, out of the blue,
I saw memories and pictures of you
the adventures shaped me into who I am
but a ring has just one hole
this mission has to be completed alone.
