Choka – Loss (Darkness Opens Up)

Dreams are circling

Fluttering like butterflies

Darkness opens up

And I am falling weightless

I hear your footsteps

Echoing from far away

I am drifting now

From blossoms to snow and ice

The night surrounds me

The quiet whispers tomblike

And I remember

Our seasons come back to me

Overwhelm my heart

And I see your sweet face love

Briefly reflected

In a pool of salty tears

As I pass on to morning
