It's a trance that's lasted months

It's a hope unto a dream

It's lost its new appearance

Yet it still shines with a gleam


The luster is long faded

The energy doesn't spur

A long chain of reactions

A humming, buzzing whir


Yet still the light, it's shining

Yet still, the brightness glows

Yet still, it draws me closer

Yet still, the wind will blow


It's enchanting, yet mysterious

There's nothing new to see

I'm puzzled, proud, and ponderous

I'm transfixed, yet I'm free


Nothing now can break me

Yet desire flames like fire

The water doesn't scare me

As the heat just rises, higher


It's a trance, with luster faded,

Enchanting, and inflaming,

Free but still intoxicated,

Of the heart I'm claiming
