alive alive walls

dancers come
eulogies passed
shape-shifting shadows
sky daughters night sons

alive alive walls 
dusk stays as it falls
candlelight flickers the chill
silent halls

silhouettes mingle, shadow
limbs merge 
fluid, compelling, commanding
all sight 

consciousness alter's
a mind simply taught
let go of the normal, abandon all
thought

alone alone bliss
heaven is this, heaven has come
here 
come right here, to me

distorting the real, it rises, it calls,
alive alive walls see
dusk pray as it falls
