The moon pulls the sea
From the shore
Where I find
The measure of the land
While the setting sun pulls me
To the expanse beyond the sky
Where I find
The measure of me
The moon pulls the sea
From the shore
Where I find
The measure of the land
While the setting sun pulls me
To the expanse beyond the sky
Where I find
The measure of me
With the sun no more
Than ember in the ash
We thousands mingle
Muted in the solemnity of awe
Amongst the minarets and domes
Of ancient wonder
But for a young girl
With a smattering of pink
Skipping in her socks
And there my friends
Find the greater wonder
In the magic of a child
Just one minaret
Towers over us
Backlit in dull amber
Through thick smoke
With casual demeanour
We mill about
As though we’ve forgotten
This place’s exalted status
It’s majesty
Now somewhat diminished
Highway and sunset
With all the time in the world
New story begins
Daylight waning hour
A beacon stands the ready
Darkness guiding light
Old Sol burned a hole in the sky
Igniting the wake of our flight
We sailed on
Into the night
Into the darkness
With the hope a new day
Would bring a better light
The shore
Of a coastal town
The sun goes down
‘Fore night comes round
There we
Recline on the shore
To think no more
Settle no score
‘Til you
Wonder what are we
What will we be
What do I see
So I
Give my heart to you
My love is true
Is your love too?
You say
That it’s you and I
Forever, no lie
Together we sigh
Adieu the day
Which meets its fiery end
Adieu the thoughts
Which plague my dreary head
Adieu the world
Which fills me with a weary dread
To bed
Where downy warmth, my flight
To sleep
Where hope, my dreams alight
To wake
Where sunrise sets the world aright
Sometimes the light
Inexorable
Calls out
All I need
Acknowledge
Become the light
Sometimes the light
In darkness
Seek it
All I need
Resolve
Shed the darkness
