In Blue I Wonder

so where i wonder, i wander
into the remains of memory
scattered here, in the corners of my mind
i follow you, the shadows, the shapes
that bend, then erase, the very hope
that had begun to fly, from my heart
on this very night

back and forth, into you, away from you
the dance of angels, the embrace of devils
warm, cool, playing the fool for you
in the laughter, the slumber, of a warm summer day
dry, in the eye of the hearth that breaks for us
wraps us around, the timeless song
of sweetness, it is here i belong, to the waves
the waters, running beneath the world, i know

blue, in the wonder, the great wide escape
played for the hours, played for the way you
smile, inside the memory, caring, like a child
whose only world, is right before your very eyes
all the thoughts, all the dreams, they do penetrate here
in the remnants, the vestiges, a trace from one day to the next
in some far off place, now gone, now, it is here that i do belong
to hope, to the waves and oceans, the tides of sleep
that break the sadness, before i weep, and in the hour
i spend every minute, wondering, wandering through
each and every memory of you, that i see before my eyes
in a spectacle of hope, in an hour of dream
your love was more than what it seemed to be, in me
and now on through, the hour that speaks, and calls out your name
i no longer can remain, before the thought
inside the dream, that caught me here, in this moment
as i drift off to sleep
