Faraway, So Close

Faraway, so close
Lost in a moment
That shall never return
Neverending night
Lacking all its stars
In a fitful sleep
Full of odd dreams
And a lack of clarity
Fighting a relevance
That has yet to be seen
Like art on a wall
In an empty room
Or strangers on a train
Going nowhere
In these stolen times
Between life and death
Far away from here
So close to heaven
At day’s dawning
Bold and brilliant
Embracing a memory
That never was real
But creating a moment
That will last forever.
