You are but a dream,
The whisp of an ideal,
A vision from my memory
That seeps through my fingers
Like the sand on a wind-blown shore.
A summer dream that warms me
In the chilly wind of old age;
A memory of a young man
Waking to life and deep passion.
A dream of happiness once
Possessed but foolishly left behind
Like a full moon setting
On a lazy summer’s night.
Hovering over the abyss of nothingness,
My soul shall find itself alone
In that silent solitude
Where the spirits of the dead
Await the awakening of memories.
