until it breathes

fly away

fly away again

from all of those voices

and the truths they bend

this glittering night

takes me by the hand

we'll set it all to right

and come to understand

as skins, as storms, and scenes

shadowed shapes shifting on the air

not ours to know what they mean

and yet we feel their presence there

like dreams that we hold

or is it we who are held?

e'er return unto the fold

'til the spirit's fully quelled

and dreams lay flat upon the floor

kisses fade from what is felt

inside us all exists a door

takes us far from where we've dwelt

eternal sun, there is no fear

no matter all the scars

i told you once when you were near

we are come of sun and stars

so, flying o'er the world just now

the press of what these others need

i'll make you just a single vow

i'll kiss your heart until it breathes

Life...
