Because we vanish into dreamless time 
when death erases our names from the world 
I want to step forward on spinning hope 
and dream the complex beauty of your soul 
this hour wind blows between our mirror minds 
to share our love before we disappear. 

So many people have lived on this Earth 
over one hundred million years of change, 
sprouting from bodies of aggressive hope, 
to live entire dramas of conscious love, 
yet every soul, rich with experience, 
long ago vanished into dreamless time. 

So I can only imagine their names, 
picture their faces in dream of my mind, 
compose narrative of their story line, 
and watch them relive progress of desire 
with sympathy for passion of their hearts 
that have since vanished into dreamless time. 

I feel conceptual vision of their minds 
glow awake again in my dreaming brain 
as I imagine feelings of their hearts 
that motivate their actions of desire 
to pursue happiness of peaceful joy 
before they vanish into dreamless time. 

Alone at midnight in my lightless home, 
while my wife and children dream in safe sleep, 
I sense every soul who has ever lived 
swarm around me in shimmer of desire, 
so I feel their loneliness in the wind, 
and weep they vanished into dreamless time. 

Small and fragile in vast canyon of love, 
flame of my spirit flickers in fierce wind 
of mute eternity, so I sing name 
of every person who has ever lived 
in single wordless melody of sorrow 
till I too vanish into dreamless time. 

Stark ache of loneliness from each lost soul 
pierces my heart with lightning strike of love 
so, self-aware consciousness of I Am, 
before I vanish into dreamless time, 
swells vast as the white whole of galaxies, 
thus I feel every conscious being alive. 

Though we will vanish into dreamless time, 
our names and stories erased from all minds, 
I sing eternal loneliness of love 
which connects my brain to billions of brains 
as we sing together in global choir 
to feel each other awake in the dark.
