A/N: This is one of my favourite poems for SatoRisa. I wrote it while listening to Helen Jane Long's "Echo" and many people say that they are best together. I made an mmv of it, though it was my first attempt at such a thing, so it's not as good as I would like. Still, if you're interested in seeing that, you can find it pretty easily on YouTube.
Warning: Anti-Dark/Risa sentiments.
Title: Hikari Ni Mukatte Ga: Moth Toward the Light
-Hikari Ni Mukatte Ga-
The world turned 'round
Spinning on its axis
Turning over everything
And pulling back the icy cover
Heart beats intermingle
Echoing, echoing a common strain;
Shivering wings unfold
The moth toward the light
For better or for worse
She is captured in the blue
And wonders if perhaps
Her home lies ahead
The music lifts her from the ground
Soaring towards the speckled stars
So far from her reach a moment ago
Now the blue sky envelopes her
Like a rain shower of wonderment.
The world turned 'round
And things stood right
But mid air she dropped
To the ground where the sky had been
Holding close the white feather,
Her only memory,
She folds her shivering wings
The night looms onward,
The sky is black,
And she wonders why
She wants to be saved
From the dark that was her home
She cried for a shimmering
Of light.
Like a call from the distance
She felt the ground disappearing
From beneath her tiny feet
And again her wings unfurled,
Hopeful and determined,
And she looked for the blue light.
A lingering glance from the heavenward
Ice and light interwove to form
A burning touch
Searing into her memory
A single white feather
And she dropped to the ground
A smile frozen upon her lips.
And the world turned 'round,
And she did not look again
Upon the darkness,
Nor move her broken wings.
Like the stroking caress of a brush,
With paint to guild her hopes and dreams
She opened her eyes again,
And her frozen smile spread
To a living warmth
He took her hand, lifting her up,
And she spread her new-found wings,
A butterfly in the blue sky,
Laughter in the Light.
