The Shadow that is the Tree

The darkness consumes the life around me
For why? It's easy to understand
A tree isn't really a tree
While the stars sit in my hand
These trees are really just shadows
That's all there is to see
Or that's all the darkness shows
The darkness consumes the life around me

The stars repel the night around me
The ones that sit in my hand
Reveal what there is to see
Through the darkness over the land
Which is true? A matter of perception
The darkness, the light
Not the eyes, the mind of reception
The brain wrapped quite tight

The darkness consumes the life around me
The stars repel the night around me
Which one can it be?
I can only see
The shadow that is the tree
