As We Are

Far away from heart and home
Adrift upon the sea
In a foreign land, I rise
Yea, it rise in my
Hence I bear the stars above
The moon upon my back
Further from, and nearer still
To the heart I lack
In a dream of such a dream
You, the song and breath
Silver glistens in your eyes
Therein lies no death
Such is life that yet remains
Such is hope so near
Such is beauty rising still
As we are, my dear
