and in the moment
when I first met you I died
and it was the sweetest of all deaths
all the longing that had ever been before
lay cold in the arms of the angels

and as heaven fell
into the depths of the ocean
and the birds sung the saddest of all songs
all the dreams that had not yet
even begun to be dreamt
lay still in the heart of the demons

and when the tears showered
on the leaves of the forgotten
and my words died on the lips of all people
all the souls swore ad oath so sacred
and lay it to rest in the bones of a child


and as the whispers faded
on the breezes of the island
and the farthest reaches of the land stilled
and all of time breathed its last dream
and lay to rest in the arms of the angels

and I awoke
like the soul
and the fire
kindled in your eyes
and ever so brightly we burn
