heart beat
3
right toe wiggle
5
right eye wink
hand open
8
place feet
on ground
stumble toward
mighty sound
13
must cry,
mustn't fall behind
drizzle kiss thy face
with dew
amen, amen
21
may ears be deaf
to wicked lies
from cruelty, dread
I shield thy eyes
softly spoke the truth
whisper,
sleeping babe
34
lay thy being at thy fate
tousle I thy downy pate
wouldn't solemn oath be kept
if demons lost their minds and
wept?
Break them, they are within reach.
May strike land true.
55
wander toward thy destiny.
A carpet wove of dreams,
rolls ahead, lays a path,
tearing at the seams.
I lift thy body to the moon,
Earth was in my way at noon.
couldn't dig like I know I must.
When we get there we'll be dust
Heavens bless our journey,
give us rest.
