Name Written in Water

In the very center of my Soul
 Is an Eye, from which emerges a sword
 I just wish I knew what the sword was for
 Prison of childhood; a thousand suburban homes
 Every highway across the West I've flown
 Mesas in Utah, each standing like an ancient throne
 My name written in water
 If these lines are my lastThey might well be remembered also as my first
 And possibly even as my worst
 Fear and solitude, faithful as any friend
 Cannot even linger about after I descend
 My name is written in water and I'm gone again
 My name written in water
 None of this will last, just like melting ice
 None of this, though how I loved the beautiful lights
 You can never step in the same river twice
 "What dreams may come, when shuffled off this mortal coil,
 Must give us pause" said the Danish Royal
 I wonder if I'll even get to keep my Soul
 My name written in water
