Memories Zero

Stop moving a while 

Step out into the chill. 

Of the very same night 

I had lost all my ill

In the very same light 

That had haunted my will

To walk down the road 

Down to the windowsill 

Of my mind. 

In hindsight I'd have drawn 

The paths edge and hedge worn

The lands end of steps more 

And more step to the shore. 

Pass grass of noon dunes, 

It's moonlight but still dawn. 

The morning of never ever 

The mourning of forever 

For ever more. 

The toes grace 

Of grand sand. 

Gold-black shells 

Face lands tanned, 

The soft snakes

Of spiral mind. 

Soothed in sorrow

But only tomorrow. 

For now is now. 

For ever lasts. 

Forever masks. 

The borrowed time. 

I'd murder in tomorrow's shine. 

The dawn of today's hands

Of sand timers shattered in the sea. 

The glint of the glass glimmers gladly at the greatest memory. 

To define me as me.
