All the details Dissolve, leaving behind A slow sway of emotion, A residue of reality That keeps a secret I dare not know. This is a stillness I cannot yet trust, A solace I cannot yet name-- For what will remain, After the Fall Of morning? Ah, this deciding moonlight Is neither friend nor foe, Just a waking embrace Or a whispered goodbye, An eclipsing rhythm Of chaos inside, inspired By a grey-green dream-- The touch of a heart That demands to be seen. And so all the details dissolve, The haunting eyes, the subtle grace, But in a moment's repose, I study Your face--and I find a passion for faith, A hope I have strength for, A song to cherish the space. |
