about

Some memories bring light as well as pain.

As Golden Dust:

lyrics

Only one with the glimmer of dawn
A star ascending from the depths

Once with trembling hand, and unwav'ring gaze
A singular bloom I beheld, of beauteous sorrow.
Innocent of her shining, golden blaze-
"I am withered, waning ev'ry morrow."

"Blossom, where there be day, see thou only night?"

She shone as a gem
In whose gleaming facets I glimpsed
the sun of a summer
I had never seen.

"Wherefore flower thou here?
The hour grows late, and frost
Already caresses the heath.
Should not ye have danced
In long days afore?"

"I beg thee remain
And stay by my side;
The winter is long
And I am afraid to die."

She stirred my heart,
which so long had been
A casket, empty,
of rotten wood carven.
To wander alone the asphodel vale
I could not her forsake.

Wreathed in her scent
The cold fain would claim
But close by her side
In rapture I remained.

Days as golden dust passed.

April's sunset approached at last
I achingly drew away
Once more to meet my fate.
A bid farewell, I looked in her eyes,
"When ash and oak in amber shine,
To bask in your radiance
I shall come again."
