Aether Loom
Something in me wanted to go dark
Wanted to disappear past the mark
But a hand came down and drew a
line
Said even faded, you still shine
Never
all the way to none
Some of you stays,
even when it's gone
A floor beneath the fading light
Held there, softly, out of sight
Two selves sleeping in the same still pool One wakes to the
sun, the other stays cool
Waiting on a turning no one sees For its own slow morning,
at its own ease
Never all the way to none
Some of you stays,
even when it's gone
A floor beneath the fading light
Held there, softly, out of sight
Nothing was ever truly asleep
Just waiting its turn
in the deep
What looks like absence,
still holds on
A quiet shape, before the dawn
Never all the way to none
Some of you stays,
even when it's gone
A floor beneath the fading light
Held there, softly, out of sight
Still there, at the edge of gone
