Engulfing all my senses
Every other echo evaporates into the atmosphere up here
I can smell your breath singing
Taste your loneliness swimming
Mine dives in with yours to copy your stroke
The both of us learning together how to stay afloat
Close one set of eyes to open another
In this realm of consciousness we are both brothers
Floating here forever,
The real world can certainly wait
I've felt nothing on the other side of the gate
When the dogs begin to howl and all the bells toll
I'll know that is the time in which to return home
Until then I press repeat for another lap in my head
Just five more minutes, I'm not quite ready for bed.
