if a man alone
lies
before a kingdom
carved
as life
deep within
the night sky

sitting in a room
deeply
a long silence within
a moment

bridge across a river
cut from ancient stone
where faces
call to dreams
who carry your soul
unseen

you once told me
that you knew my name
so long ago
how were you lost
within the dreaming
of a young man

if lying on a bed of stars
where one can dare
to perceive
in more then
the darkness between

tomorrow always
a map across your eyes
where a poet tries
calling to
all the words
in drift

blackness
across the silence
music deep
painted
in light
moments
upon the wall
