Home

So said the wandering silhouette among the trees
"Oh wind, please blow upon me"
And echoing out into the void's grasp
Those words did fade to black
"So be it" said the figure, laying down
To soothe himself in tune
But it never came back, that voice he sang
Out into the frozen expanse

Oh, where's your song?
Arctic wind, your love?
Tell, why are you missing?
Where do I lay now?
Where is our home?
In the clouds!
Cold and alone

"I am lost and afraid" said the phantom to the canopy
"Your wish is our command" they replied
"May I rest upon you, among your leaves?"
"For as long as we might be"
So vanished that specter into a torrent of petals and entropy
And at last he would rest, knowing that he was free
Of the night's relentless grasp

But that wasn't where he awoke
Surrounded in comforting cloak
He opened his eyes and saw he was inside
A familiar blanket
Made me feel
Cold and alone

"Ghost, you wander down there, have you really forgot?
You belong up in the air
Up above, up here in the gap between stars
Please come home"

"How could I possibly stand and rise in flight?
I don't have wings, don't shine as bright as you
As beautifully as you
So I think I'll stay"
