Amber iris

I was the amber iris
In falling light
And I would climb a mountain
In order to face a new world
With the weight of countless memories
Held on a butterfly's wing

I close my eyes
And you remain nameless
Yet
I can feel your heartbeat
Through my palms

I close my eyes in the silence
Just to feel my breath
In the late hours

Faceless are we until the sun rises
Against the with-holding shadows

I was the amber iris
In falling light
And I would climb a mountain
In order to face a new world
