Glistening Sun

I have seen you a thousand times in the night

Shaped like the echoes in caves by the sea,

Your voice clear as angels caught in the light

Of thousands of candles, arranged silently.

.

I listen - a warning, like spells or a charm

Sounds clearly, like water, a bottomless spring,

Pours forth like the sound of an echoing harm

Once done in the past - a blood offering

.

That captured its victim in sea caves unknown

And led him in silence, awaiting his fate

And laid him down by the green sea at dawn

And left him there, where the waves verberate.

.

I drift from the dark of the dream's undertow.

I nestle beside you. Awake - you are gone.

I forfeit the knowledge that all dreams bestow.

I enter the world of the glistening sun.
