Before Me

…now a deeper river flows

Image: ‘On Fire’ by Elena Dudina

Those dark haunting eyes
they have taken the stars from me
you walked along these halls

and those forever burning candles
that once reflected in your face
their last flames now wither in the wind

leaving only the shadows to linger on
your voice, it still echoes in the breeze
but before me now a deeper river flows

and a new voyage in yielding waves awaits
here, where beginnings are dreams
endings are beginnings
