Guess What Color?
The sun sets behind my closed eyelids
Drift to sleep as the night is born
Breath after breath, the houses settle
In their nests of dying leaves
Thousands of feet down, beyond thousands,
Rock melts and shimmers from the heat
Cracks burst into light then fade as they cool
Let’s get out of this place, dream this escape
Down steel ladders our boots ring
And give way to fields of flowers
Far away, strings of lantern lights
Flow to the surface with a distant hum of song
And a sunrise of bells
