The sky
Inside
And the silhouettes in view
Amidst the subtle hues
Moving
Through
The scenes
And the motions
The motions
And the rise
The ocean
And I
Thought I saw
The water
Thought
I saw
The water
But the grain
The grains
Of sand
Surrounded us
(Oh, they surrounded us!)
While the visions
Came and went
I could have been
Caught up
In the mirage of
The barren land
Beyond the fence
In an arid
Sand nothingness
I could have thought
I saw
When the film fell off...
You
Sometimes
We survive
Like animals
Like beasts
In the wild
The Truth
So elusive
Oh the sieve settles
And strains
Distills
And all that retains
Oh, but the shade
Drew away
And Your arms surrounded us
(Your arms surrounded us)
While the visions
Came and went
I could have been
Caught up
In the mirage of
The barren land
Beyond the fence
In an arid
Sand nothingness
I could have thought
I saw
When the film fell off...
