Rose and Gold

from Beloved by Michael Henry Collins

/

lyrics

My mirrors with a memory
blurring around her
like the gloaming
all rose and gold
She's naming the mountains
She's naming the seas
of my place of longing
a place without beginning
reaching for what cannot be reached
I found her hand
Coloring
my mirrors with a memory
rose and gold
More myth than history
More yesterdays than tomorrows
More rose and gold

My mirrors with a memory
without horizon
surround her like mercy
all rose and gold
She's the invitation
a minaret singing
from my place of longing
a place without beginning
Listening for what cannot be heard
I learned her name
The signature
on my mirrors with a memory
Rose and gold.
More myth than history
More yesterdays than tomorrows
More rose and gold.

It won't be long
until all has gone
rose and gold.
