Lullabye

sleep
sleep
sleep
peace is
ours to keep
and i can feel
your words
in my ocean

deep

running along
the waves
of
the
rippled
sand
i can feel your words
like i feel your hand

swim inside my being
go beyond your seeing
where you can only feel
what can only be real

beyond words
beyond sound
beyond sight
beyond light

there's a language
we all know
if we let our
selves go

beyond reason and fear
if you listen you'll hear
between your heart
beat
and mine
there is something to find

it's the rhythm of life
pounding out the beats
tangled up in sheets
while dreaming of you
twisted and tangled
tangled up in blue
thoughts tangled in you

twisted from dreams
where i could
feel your weight
but in my fevered sleep
the lesson that i keep
is that my 'road flows
like a river'
it 'pulls me around
every bend'

so, even if i you're not
in my life quite clear
it's still good to know
that you are here

because i want your
boat crashed on my
sandy shore
i want to touch your skin
with words and more
across space and time
over lines
past signs

but i feel your words
across minutes and miles
and all of your words
make me smile
when i lay me
down at night
when the day is
out of sight

i think of the peace
i mean to keep
i feel your words
in my ocean deep
there i can feel you
in my sleep

sleep

sleep

and the peace is ours to keep
