Until Next I Wake

The water must be worried

For tides to carry on

Must only for a moment

Be what I see beyond

Yet in my darkest hour

Can my eternal rest

Be forever wanting

This burning in my chest

And thus I carry on

Without moment to spare

For my eternal wanting

Does leave me safely there

To where I find another

Softer vision lies

And where I find another

Has kept me cold and dry

Yet it could be my brother

This darkness in my mind

Or it could be the cold

Where shadows do I find

And still the fate goes on

What waters do I keep

From silencing the wrong

And ushering the deep

Now here in my sweet vision lay

A shadow from the deep

A cloud to touch my sorrow

And call me from my sleep

So I drift above

Lest ever should I drown

To claim what I forsook

And fill my golden crown

So there shall I remain

Til ere does slumber take

For reason or another

Until next I wake
