The Dream and the Waking Lyrics by Be’lakor

Of Breath and Bone

2012

Silent but distant
Real but not seen
Here but not happening
Forever has been
Into this absence
Two had but strayed
Retracing in circles
They surrendered, dismayed
Behind them, darkness
Ahead, the unknown
So they stood, uninvited
But the roots had grown
An error, a tangent
A curious mind
An instant, a lifetime
A secret to find
The dream and the waking
Occurring together
Realizing, then
That it mattered not whether
Imagined movements
Near shimmering webs
The Nightfall descended
To rest by their heads
Their feet planted firmly
'Neath four darting eyes
With pupils dilated
They counted the sighs
The dream and the waking
Occurring together
Realizing, then
That it mattered not whether
Imagined movements
Near shimmering webs
The Nightfall descended
To rest by their heads
Their feet planted firmly
'Neath four darting eyes
With pupils dilated
They counted
Their legs fading into
A curdling moss
Their lungs slowly filling
With decades of loss
That scent from the forest
Not taking, not giving
They knew only this
Not buried, not living
Their stagnating veins
Now hidden from view
In skin for the willow
And bone for the dew
The dream and the waking
Ending together
Understanding then
It had not mattered, ever
