Sunlight is cast

Sunlight is cast

Ghostly waves

Lightly falling

Do you see them

Invisible reflections

Sparkle on the water

Absorb me

Colour the world

With absolution

Kiss the cheek

Turn the other way

Before the cock crows

Every breath

Brings new hope

For the old heart

At rest

Speed of thought

Is slowed

In respect

For the meaning of

Sacrifice

Even as children

Believe they are

The true born

First to be

Truth to see

Every dream is a collection

Of short stories

Dreamed before

They fade away

Interpret me

Differently

It is the sunlight

On the water

That will never

Be the same again

If it helps

Remember how it plays

With your imagination

Open your eyes

Everything we see

Is more than

It once was, yet

Less

Than it will ever be.
