Fading Echoes

In this waking dawn

I felt the edges of a dream

Slipping past my feeble fingers, tantalizing me;

I cannot remember who you were or how it seemed–

I have not forgotten how it felt to be complete

So I tried to catch the fragments

But there’s no trying anymore

It was such a fleeting moment

But I touched you once before

So bring me to the surface of my mind

I am drowning in the sands of time

Lost among illusions in my eyes

When reality and dreams collide

Only then will I decide

To chase their fading echoes to the skies

Maybe they will carry me on through

Maybe they will carry me to you
