Limnos

Early morning
In a meadow across the ocean
Sea of fog
Caught the daylight in its gaze
And now it’s lost
Clouds could see beyond your walls
Like prying eyes
We could see into your mind
From in the sky
For all intents and purposes
The cause is gone
We could walk for days and days
The journey’s long
Realize the lies will soon light up
Like fireflies
We could make out shapes
Until the daylight dies
Early winter
Out a window from the foyer
See the snow
Falling gently on the church grounds
And my soul
Memories invade my mind
Like hateful words
Pecking at my sanity
Like mockingbirds
For all intents and purposes
The cause is gone
We could walk for days and days
The journey’s long
Realize the lies will soon light up
Like fireflies
We could make out shapes
Until the daylight dies
All I need is one last call
