NB

Traces In The Sand

I\'ve felt the wave when you were born

That rhapsody within my veins

A heavy crown of thorns I\'ve worn

A melting mask & rusted chains

 

I\'ve heard the red skies weep for me

A trance within a milligram

I\'ve burned in sullen ecstasy

To paint the dawn with what I am

 

The picture of a past life I\'ve laid

Deep within the sand

& a cryptic writing

Only for the lost ones to understand

I\'ve buried a heart of glass

That was ready to await

So that new worlds would grow

From the one that you create

 

But beyond the life we\'ve known

Beyond the lines drawn to erase

Memory lost, a flower grown

Our love might have left the trace

 

That\'s how I felt that you were born

That rhapsody deep in my veins

A dream confined, but not forlorn

Like echoes of a thousand rains
