tonight, I see a glow of moonlight across the ocean
like a bridge to another world
an infant giggles there, almost at the vanishing point
purity against dark water
patty cake in dark fog
gun shots dripping all around him
can I sit with him
without making his face fade
or muddying his mannerisms?
I cannot swim to you little laughing wave
I must instantly be with you or youll disappear
pray for me tiny, golden, unknowing crusader
a fast wind of snakes is coming in from my breath
it will sweep me away
but you will remain steadfast
a shining memorial of my past
never to be altered
like a bridge to another world
an infant giggles there, almost at the vanishing point
purity against dark water
patty cake in dark fog
gun shots dripping all around him
can I sit with him
without making his face fade
or muddying his mannerisms?
I cannot swim to you little laughing wave
I must instantly be with you or youll disappear
pray for me tiny, golden, unknowing crusader
a fast wind of snakes is coming in from my breath
it will sweep me away
but you will remain steadfast
a shining memorial of my past
never to be altered
