The World Is Too Much For Us
Once you spoke to me in nightmares
You speak to me in dreams
We fly the above the cavernous
Streams hills and rills, echo screams
Cool mirage water did not slake
We die before we wake
All the searing pain did not sere
Saxifrage has burst through
Souls cleft by crags, pain left us here
Hot copper skies, below bodies left in the dust
When lovers leap to love and love leaps to lust,
Into chaos fragile souls hurled
We, we were never sated with the world,
It was too much for us.
