I heard it in the dark
Waking alone on the floor
In the middle of the room
After dreaming of nothing
It sounded like it came from
A language unknown to man
Sung by the mockingbird
It was probably a term for
Something like
"The last swaying purple
Velvet flower left alive
After the extinction
Of humanity"
It sounded soothing
I felt a surrounding presence
Of warmth and elegance
It felt like you were lying
Beside me
Wanting to be held
By my arms
It felt like
I was never alone
