Canvas In the Clouds

I sold the sun, reign a'dim the sky The key to beyond these canvas walls My imagination, it seemed, had fled to thine Atop my perch among a sea of thralls The shifting waves send me adrift on a spine And in deliring, your soft siren call Inspires my wings to become sentient, find A hole in the canvas Ross imitated Fall In the starless sea I touch the hole and cry Where dandelion yellows should blossom and crawl Among this sea where I dither and die The emptiness of my soul seems quite small A bird in flight in endless night Does fly the sky regretting his sight
