Glowing, golden fields
a journey’s remembrance
comes in flashes
as I lay here.
a journey’s remembrance
comes in flashes
as I lay here.
Radiant angel,
strike me gently
inform me with the secret halo
around my heart.
strike me gently
inform me with the secret halo
around my heart.
A slow glorious fall down the line,
lured into corners of life
not breached in daylight.
Darkness blooms, then a surge,
then a coy damsel.
I await sweet mysteries.
lured into corners of life
not breached in daylight.
Darkness blooms, then a surge,
then a coy damsel.
I await sweet mysteries.
