Broken glass dusts the area with light
— like a Christmas tree in a shredder.
A bird carries my thoughts with all his might
— until I am feeling much better.
*
Motionless in the vast still of the night
— I couldn’t possibly be deader.
Something out here is too wrong to be right
— I’d run away were there no fetter.
*
This life is slipping further from my sight
— I recall the day that I met her.
The window is shuttered on me, tight
— I hope that I never forget her.
*
The light, the light, oh holy light, it’s white
— hallucinations of the forever.
Darkness follows behind, ready to fight
— I have now lost hold of my tether.
*
Away, away, I fly away tonight
— searching for that bird of a feather.
Just one more chance, a pause on this, my plight
— so I can whisper that I love her.
*
