collapse from collapse by beholding

fading a shadow
memory of a bitter cold
fading a dream
falter in the moonlight

is it a shadow
i see you laying and smiling
is it a dream
fading from me

i will wait
for you to see
mountains break
the burning trees

in blacking smoke
the forest fire
you asked if i would
stay a while
in dreams i see the end of all things

the beauty there
in the falling sky
all buildings give
the purest light

just before
the cold collapse
i could have sworn
i heard you laugh

in dreams i see the end of all things

a weeping face
painted the ground
the ocean rise
a waking sound

nothing moved
below the sea
above the sound
unlike anything

in dreams i see the end of all things

if this is a shadow
can i meet you in the bitter cold
if this is a dream
can i kiss you in the wavering moonlight

if this is a shadow
i will offer up my life for it
if this is a dream
i swear i won’t say anything
