There’s a canyon in between us
a looming emptiness
the air is heavy and thick
but close your eyes and dream
and it becomes a canyon
a canyon of light
it becomes a canyon
a canyon of light

we reflect each other
sometimes in the shadows
like early winter sunset
one last golden glow
before the darkness falls
our bodies like a canyon’s walls
catching rays of fleeting sun
a canyon of light

quiet becomes solitude
twilight becomes glowing
every light a sunrise
every day for growing
life is what you make it they say
but it’s all about perception
choose to see illumination
watch the shadows fall away

dazzlingly bright, canyon of light
there’s no space between us, it’s a canyon of light
