1-800-Sundial
I only tell of sunny hours…
for vampires are my bane
cast a shapeless chill
upon my timeless shame.
Oh sunrise, dear sunrise
first touch of daylight’s glow
awaken me – unbind stone hands
as dancing shadows grow
upon the patterns of my soul
across my tarnished face
count with me those sunny hours
cold lifeless hands retrace.
