You pass through dreams
Like morning smoke
Soft as a line
You never spoke
I keep your name
Beneath my breath
Like it might bring you
Back from death
Wait for me softlyin
Some quiet light
Where memory dances with the night
Say it againthe words we knew —
Or whisper them lowif that’s all you can do
The clock forgetsbut
I recall
Each pauseeach glanceeach silent fall
You vanished like a setting tune
But left your shadow on the moon
Wait for me softlyin some quiet light
Where memory dances with the night
Say it againthe words we knew —
Or whisper them lowif that’s all you can do
No need to knockno need to speak —
I’ll hear your voice when
I’m half asleep.
