As long hours pull at me

And the fading light comforts

Still I wait, longing for peace

 

My sight grows weary

Thinking, I stutter and trip

I fold under warmth and shadows

 

Bursting to color, l remember

In detail too fine and too intimate

A memory unmade

 

A brightness that clouds my vision

Blurs and changes the thought

But I will not forget

 

Even as I move and breath

A lingering hope remains burning

Turning into flame

 

Once more that darkness comes

But l go easily in want to see

That same glimmer as before

 

Again l conjure a whisp

Smaller and more vivid

Gone too quickly from me

 

Upon waking l wonder

Now understanding what I saw

A swirl of gold and blue

 

Daylight breaks under stress

But l have not yet left, still

I dream of loving you
