come meet me at the doors of night,
brush past my dreams,
greet the pillows and the bed sheets,
and sing the song of crickets.
delight me with your tales -
adventurous dreams, frightening nightmares.
fascinate me with your encounters -
restless children or passionate lovers.
confide in me your enemies -
pills and papers.
find solace in me,
even if you're someone else's.
i know you have to leave soon
to befall another tired soul.
meet me at the doors of night again.
brush, sing, delight, fascinate, confide,
find again tomorrow.
