I came when the wine had flown
The sounds were silent
When the colours were dead.
I came
When the words were spoken
When the match was lit
When ashes remained.
I came when the clouds were gone
The earth was fresh
And the sun lay hid.
I came when the wind was tired
When the birds slept free
When the trees stood still.
And I came when you sang
When the wound had healed
When new colours ran
When words began
In circles of the well
From a broken shell
With not a soul to tell
So I come to you
Let me in.
