Within these meadows
Within these meadows
bathed in living light
Swarming pollen carried along
Waves of air descend in dance
Within the silent winds
Dissolved in breaths behind us
Temple ruins left to past
Behind the burning skies
Empty cities where clouds roll by
Beyond the valley of their deserts
Among the scattered books
Turned to dust upon the wind
Vulnerable to one’s own extinction
Deserted places within the mind
Lost memories rooted deep
Come to shore again
Dreams descend from icarian heights
To find its feet beneath the humble grass
Of where we started once again
