There you lie sleeping
Cherubic face
My eyes, my cheeks
My neuroses
I whisper in your ear
sweet one
words of love
And affirmations
So untouched and pure
Yet time will take its toll,
that I know
The world will break you
and taint you
And you will soon be mine no more
You will forget these moments
when I hold you
and guide you, singing
songs that fade into dark
songs I hope remain
imprinted on your heart
Here you lie sleeping
precious one
Your eyes, your cheeks
Your spirit
I whisper in your ear
despite my fears
words of peace
and contentment
Sleep on

Clouds cast shadows
on the mountain
Sunlight peeks through
white brume
Wet grass shines
like glass

I look down at the world below
So high, so hidden
And so well-read
They smile and laugh
Knowing something that I don’t
Like a dream lost upon waking
It slips through my grasp
I feel it, sense it
Yet the memory fades
Into daylight
The mask I wear hides my eyes
A part I play, a song I sing
Words I recognize
But cannot comprehend
While I peer from my lofty prison
Imperious, impervious
I discover I am not above, but down below
Waiting and longing
To walk free

Din!
Your voice envelops me
Drowns me
Blinds me
Encircles
Confines me
Din!
Your whisper is fog
I feel it echo
In my bones
In my blood
In my head
I gasp for air
For light
Until the silence comes
