In Dreams

In dreams
I follow you down
Mazed corridors
Of white sanctuary
Arched windows
Lit from without
Knowing that there
Will always be
Only a shadow
Behind the door

Floor tiles
Unfold in retreat
Like butterfly wings
In a glass sky of leaves
The garland
Of your footsteps dissolves
Into a cascade of dark
A celestial stream
A river
Between our worlds
I wasn't there
And never will be

Float a bottle out to Crusoe
On his broken midnight prow
Tell our prince of eloquence
We're thinking of him now

There's such
A long afterlife
For those left behind
Awaiting reprieve
Wine dark
The echoes we recount
Watching the clouds'
Outline hit the sea
As you are now so once were we

Throw a bottle out to Pluto
On his lonesome long night prowl
Tell the prince of elegance
We're thinking of him now
We can't stop thinking of him now
Thinking of you now
