less and less the earth feels like your home
only a signal flashing from a lighthouse suspended
above the unknown
like Christ on the cross in Dali keeps you warm
in an inbetween zone
bit by bit as you are more alone
you find in your dreams it's Spring perpetually
and it's not that hard through the violet rains
to find the light that beckoned you on
beyond all lilies now
and resurrected, in the slow gardens beyond Time.
