Wishing Again

Tremble at the dawn -

don't let the words pass away.

Tremble at the dawn -

not a word pass away.

Staring, breathing.

Closed-eye shuffle

drawing near

Haunting, loving.

Breathe, and breathless

without fear.

Tremble at the dawn -

don't let the words pass away.

Tremble at the dawn -

not a word pass away.

Lost and losing

only one hope

drenched in sweat.

Found and silent

redeemed the ticket -

holy, holy debt.

Tremble at the dawn -

don't let the words pass away.

Tremble at the dawn -

not a word pass away.

And the words that you wrote,

shadows

of the words that you spoke,

glimmers

of the worlds that you wrote,

embers

of the worlds you could dream.

Tremble at the dawn -

don't let the words pass away.

Tremble at the dawn -

not a word pass away.

Tremble at the dawn.

Tremble.
