All I Ever Lost
In silent passage
Over rivers of night
Somewhere between sunset and shadow
I hear my heartbeat in the rain
There is a whispering at the door
And eternity falls in a single drop
The crash of dreams
The tide of longing
Intense blue skies
Just a touch too far
Stones and brooks
Wind caressed
Like a beautiful thirst
You awaken my moods
Yet deceived by the light
When no dreams come
I am left
With the stillness of reflection
And I see
You are not all I ever lost
