That Amber Lit Morning
Slowly, licks the flow Into your weary soul Swallow the water You're going to drown Gather up the water Through your gaping mouth Sweet brittle child And be at peace Smaller than ever A bed in the river Your crystal eyes searching the darkness A tired curl sweeps upon your stricken complexion Your panic is ceased Your heart still softly beating

Dead as I lay Alone inside the earth But for a moth, buried with me I wait for my body to disappear The dreadful beauty Consoles my weeping heart Bereaved of form My soul can carry on He staggers upon my brow Taking his life from me And raises his wings So triumphantly He lingers on I am awake I could hear you whisper goodbye Now we wait for my body To slowly disappear The dreadful beauty Consoles my weeping heart Bereaved of form My soul can carry on

The day has come And the movement could kill me My only creation is gone Falling leaves will go unnoticed While you're away I look for comfort in the pain Of heavy weight upon my shoulders Stood before the congregation Wishing time away The pale bodies and oh, the black Weep a mourning song for him There in the box my son lies wasted Victim of the earth A small portrait in an ochre frame Flits its wistful eyes for them

The water flickers in the twilight With glory as the day goes The birds and bees Above the trees Singing on Picturesque, the river rich with beauty Defiled by the memory A fragile dream Among the stream Where he drowned

Your face is lost within my memory My precious one, I'm sorry I can't remember I caress your weary head in my mind But your curing smile is gone Your lips a wretched blue Your eyes roll back and seem to look right through me Each day, I stare into a photograph To remind me how you looked I struggle just to see you as you were My beloved son a cold body in my arms My blood, regretfully a soul without a face Your image fades Tainted in my memory A lifeless figure all I see Casting leaves into the river
