Grey

The yearning

I've drawn near the night

Though my sight was soaring

There is less of me every dawn

You won't find me

The oceans yearn for my flight

I glimpsed the farthest way

Clear through a paling grey

In my dreams

Drowsy, following the dusk

Brief, frail, slight

I'm fainting

Will you wait until I'm back?

And as the rains passed through

The boundaries of the night

A presage told through ancient voices

Behind was the unlit outspread land

Unlit land

It wasn't really dark but I was confused

It wasn't really far, but I was unseen

There were stars as much as there were nights

And deeper seas

Wisdom may find thoughts

Thoughts may reach truth

But a thought can't hug you warm

Cease to be

Where light and its eternal pause

Was it going to remain?

Was it feigning loss?

So brief

Was no longer there when I stared

Lone me

A grey sign has soared

Shattered the early forms

A shadow muttered low

Never be

Deep in the night

I hid the footprints left on my way

There's no one to mind my absence

No one to deny me

I saw them gather, hide from nightfall

Searching another's world light

I dreamed of somewhere

No one's ever dreamed of

Covered faces can't even see

What's there still inside them

Don't let the light get in my room

My dreams are all divided

My dreams are still divided

Path of gleams

And as the days

Became a grayish way of light

And all the memories were night gleams

The last and dim enduring flight
