The Search - Cathedral

In the thickets overgrown

In their darkness stood a pool

Lightless no reflection shown

So for ages water clear

Stood in darkness all alone

To capture the first image

Come to sight

Out of time, out of breath

Ancient children hide from death

One still strong the other fades

He carries her into the glade

So that the final light

Would burn out bright

From her lips the words repeat

The search is over

When again we meet

On the water, in the glass

The end is near but the image lasts

The reflection turns to hidden past

Through time erased the memory

The waters froze for him to see

The love that he would know in dreams

But never knew could be

Ages pass in worlds apart

Lives begin and end in pain

Though his names and faces differ

The secret need remains the same

Lost in thoughts he cannot touch

Life ceases to matter much

For life to life the decent is steep

Into the darkness where he can sleep

Out of life, out of breath

Into the tickets he looks for death

Almost blind and near defeat

From near by a voice repeats

The search is over when again we meet

In his dreams the words repeat

The search is over when again we meet

A darker dark than starless sky

The edge of losing all he knows

Congeals revealing just her eyes

From the water her shadow shows.
