mad nights of uncontrollable falling

into mysterious nameless mind fields

the echoes of a faraway child’s dream

floating in a shimmering sea of midnight

whispering candle

unattached rainbow mirror just this side of darkness

talk to me of love and lightning

the falling leaves of autumn

and the end of coming and going

you’re a glorious hermit

concealed by dust and promises

wandering unseen

between the bright shimmering haze

and the dark velvet void

i thought i saw you there

your robes flowing, a lost silken spectrum

looking for lost travelers

floating on the waves

your eyes, a burning temple

your voice, a laughing mountain

your touch, a weeping river

i turned, and you were gone
