And deeper – deeper I fall
In the dark of this delusive sea
Whose waters know me well
The voices within
“Let it enfold you” I hear them sing
My sweet sorrow
In a beloved caress with capturing eyes
It steals the breath from my lungs
Drowning to hold onto what isn’t real
To find what cannot be found
And distant – I wake to see
No shelter around me to confine
No stars nor direction to guide
Only my shadow silently beside
A fading image of you
A lost touch of heaven
An apparition in the desert sun
Merely a figment of my hopeless imagination
