Severus Alexander

12 January, 2017

A wish is set to perish, but never die

And like embers, days and nights

With a breath are made bright

No faster than breathing, yet still they fly

Or fleeting than a sigh

For a wish to be, it creeps from sight

Like shadows after light

To where you could not scry

Oh Luci, of guileless eyes, this umber shade

Take me, take me wishing with you

Where firelight catches your smile wry

Such that it may never from my vision fade

And casts it upon some deep well of azure blue

And lifts our dreams up to the sky
