The Shadow Of A Dream

Time is a relentless sea

That yearns to open into me

I hear you calling my name

I awaken in you

And I can feel you

Awaken in me

We find comfort in our hearts’ embrace

The colours of the day are dripping

As watercolours trailing down the canvas

And your life flows through mine

Poured out of ourselves over the edge

From a pool of darker waters

The air is heavy with the scent of flowers

And we are swept away on a tide of love

Always changing, always flowing

I am speaking to you

Through the voice of the waves

And I know that you are somewhere near

Like the shadow of a dream
