mum i saw you
floating up the road
like a mystic phantom
a dream, deeply sad and
more than random
sometimes I can't stand them
dreams
they don't count
do they mum,
but then you were real
I knew you were real
when you took me in your arms
when you took me in your arms
a calm,
washed over me then
and I could have stayed there forever
embracing
mother i'm still chasing
shadows,
guide me to the light
i pray that I might
be like you
many years later
she came to realise
many years later
she came to realise
many years later
the streetlights
grew dim
