When You Speak of Me

Let me be
This phantom
Of the night
Deliver this 
Pale moon 
Behind the fragile trees
Seek warmth 
In this river of light
Adorn this shallow sea
That follows thee
To the arms of night
Steady victory
Secures these stars,
In-flight
Sings out of key
Bring 
every ounce of breath,
From your lungs 
When you
Speak of me
