Standing upon a rock
I gaze upon the blue lagoon
Once more and once again
Looking back upon the distant past
Realizing this book of full moon
is coming to rest upon me
Soon, I too…shall rest

One more dream spiral
Shall crest upon my tranquillity day
Pass’ me by
Before night falls
Never to come again

Looking back I see love
pieces of me scattered about
here and there,
They cast their shadows as if t’wer a beacon
Asking, "must you leave me here?"

Tomorrow, I shall disappear into a vapor
And what’s left of my soul
shall glide across the sky
leaving only a memory of me
and the sun to rise upon you…once more
