Lost in Time

*

A face lost in time
Denied all things bright and beautiful
Churning sands of dream
Sting and scourge my sun-scorched body

Stranded on deserts of light
Sunfire! Moon-lit nights cannot
Soothe the burning.

Sliding over sand breaking my steps
I cannot run until
The drum sand pulses loud.

A face lost in time
Thrown into deep-flowing chaos.
Churning sands of dream
Sting and scourge my sun-scorched body.

Lost among the dunes alone
My figure turns to stone and I
Fall to the sand.

Freezing nights and burning days
I know I'll never escape the bright
Power of sand-dust dreams.

A face lost in time
Flitting freely through the barriers
Churning sands of dream
Sting and scourge my sun-scorched body.
