fade

I am the dusty jewel of a forgotten city
I am paper, limp from the humid air
I am the fragrance of a woman from another life
Bring me memories, bring me the swirl of the woman lost in a trance

I am the heart beating in rhythm with music long forgotten
I am the lost cities
I am waiting…..
Bring me your dead

I am the music that moves you to dance with wild abandon
I am trapped inside a jar
I am the whirling dervish
Give me your prayers

I am the fade into silence
I am time, stopped.
I am not afraid anymore
Give me your breath
