Fleeting

I have something to tell you
even though you're gone
and we will never be together
and this is the worse time
The waters rise

Everything is fleeting
No one will make our names
with their mouths when we're gone
not that we would know
if they did

I remember looking into your eyes
behind the confusion and pain
the sorrow and bitterness
to the golden light beyond
lost in the mists

Now you're with someone else
holding a different body close
making a good life
and I am glad for you
and sad

All things sparkle as they flow
into the deep river
We are no different
the waters will rise
and cover

The waters will rise
and bring us home
to the places that lie beyond
I whisper to your memory
Time to go

And the waters will rise
and carry us all home
to the brightness beyond
I smile at your rememberance
and let go

Petals fall into the clear water
white against blue
gold fish in the shallows
leviathans below
mighty and swift

And the waters carry
And the waters will rise
Golden flashes in the shallows
Currents flow
deep and strong

The waters rise
