as the light bends and shifts

lyrics

it is the morning breeze that i feel first.
warm across my face like the touch of a lovers fingers on my lips,
and i open my eyes to the rising sun.

we lay scattered across the desert floor.
the night wind having deposited us like three tiny icarus' across the sand.

had we flown too high?
melted our waxen wings and fallen to earth in our quest to find self?

"to the west" he says, pointing in the direction of the snow capped peaks in the distance.
"we travel on."

and with a cool wind in our hair, we continue forward, to the west.
i follow, the sun rises, hot on my back, tracing patterns down my neck and arms.
and as we set one foot in front of the other, the sun continues its march ever forward, ever upward.
the desert floor becomes waves in front of our eyes, ebbing and flowing.

"water" he cries, stumbling forward toward some unknown vision, but like any dream, it passes.

and then, as if to taunt us, the ground begins to move.
snaking and splitting beneath our feet.
and in the distance a great smoke rises, black and terrible as if some great city had burst into flame.
the sky becomes as night, and yet the heat does not subside.

and we dance as the distant flames burnes away the decay of time and long forgotten dreams.
dance with the abandon of childhood and freedom.

we are a living flame
