Loong & Ren

Be free of you dark thoughts

Unburdened by lost hearts

Mind this world part by part

Ask if words are trickery or art

Quiet minds passing time

Becoming wiser thereby

Silencing the noise

Letting all thoughts fly

Staying still in one place

Never get out

Keep swimming unchanged

Drown in self-doubt

It's okay to cry

Rivers survive

Devils disguised

In moonlit lies

Born from the storms

In duplicitous forms

Demons and monsters

Poisonous thorns

Close your eyes

You can fly

Facing shadows inside

Nightmares die with another sunrise
