The shining moon

She sailed away on a hush of snow Her breath a wisp in winter's palm, The stars bowed low to kiss her brow, and time forgot its ticking psalm I called her name in fields of hass where shadow bloom and daylight pass and silence grew like mourning grass each whisper stitched in clouds stare each echo trapped in evening air a velvet cry through lightning flare She lies in stars my astral love where comets trail her sleeping dove while I a mariner down still drown in dreams where she won't drown why did you walk the hush of death? The world still turns, I've got no breath So let the sea take back its tide for though the sun forgets to hide my soul will sail with her for sure let roses bleed along the shore.
