The yearning I've drawn near the night Though my sight was soaring There is less of me every dawn You won't find me The oceans yearn for my flight
I glimpsed the farthest way Clear through a paling grey In my dreams
Drowsy, following the dusk Brief, frail, slight I'm fainting Will you wait until I'm back?
And as the rains passed through The boundaries of the night A presage told through ancient voices Behind was the unlit outspread land
Unlit land
It wasn't really dark but I was confused It wasn't really far, but I was unseen There were stars as much as there were nights And deeper seas
Wisdom may find thoughts Thoughts may reach truth But a thought can't hug you warm Cease to be
Where light and its eternal pause Was it going to remain? Was it feigning loss? So brief Was no longer there when I stared Lone me
A grey sign has soared Shattered the early forms A shadow muttered low Never be
Deep in the night I hid the footprints left on my way There's no one to mind my absence No one to deny me I saw them gather, hide from nightfall Searching another's world light I dreamed of somewhere No one's ever dreamed of Covered faces can't even see What's there still inside them
Don't let the light get in my room My dreams are all divided My dreams are still divided
Path of gleams
And as the days Became a grayish way of light And all the memories were night gleams The last and dim enduring flight
