Sunlight is drowning the halflight
As the feelings return
Strange and familiar a nocturnal fear

Appearing and disappearing

There is the river running deep

And it is floating through the veins
A nameless dread of the unknown
Temporary sight an apprehension

Vague yet saddening

Black angels guiding me

The sum of all my fears
Black angels owning me
Whispering through me


The ties are loosening


Black angels guiding me
me
Into the wordless into the neverland


All sights and sounds slowly dissolve
No gravity no memory


Far off stars in the afterglow
A god removes the veil

I'm holding in and I'm holding it out
Until the strangeness disappears


Last night I heard the waters dreaming
Stones were fast asleep along the riverbed


Let the waters wash all over me and let me dream again
Of something good


Let me dream of sheltered places of precious moments
And of long-lost faces of truthful words that finally do make some sense


Lay out these maps before me
Let me trace again the borderlines of land and sea


Flood the tide pools and wash away the shores
No longer at the mercy of the waves just let me breathe again


Let me stand and bathe in the healing light
And one more time let me navigate just let me navigate by the stars


Roads and rivers a winding in a circle
Around the same old headstrong me
Outside looking in time and time again

Feeling the heat of a recurring dream
