Raft

In my moonlit dreams I swam across the crystal mirror
To a sad country beyond
Made of rain and silence and
Empty fields of broken shades
Where dark trees arcade the stars
As comets discard the black night's reveries.
Toward the harbor of shadows
The curling sky arches over faded statues
At the end of the sea.
Here our pulses slow, mesmerized by beautiful collapse,
And the lonely outlines of an isolated home,
An island of ghosts and unwritten request,
and in this island of love I see, I feel,
a new beginning, stray from the past,
as the twilight of our days together,
re-fresh us, we begin in *Us* anew,
our eyes excelled the morning sun
Your smile laden my breast with flame
I'll boast upon that lilting sun
Your beauty worthy of a name
O what shall I give but a song
A song to sing my love for you
A song to time and space belong
Until the world is born anew
