Teach me the comfort of sleep
and the art of dreams
and lull me to slumber
in your arms

give me the smallest amount
of your love
and I will hold it
most delicately
and keep it warm and snug
inside my heart

until time fades away
from eternity
and eternity lets go of
its infinite horizon

and the last and first gods
take their final bow and breath
and give themselves
to the fables of death

and even then
in the void of everything
that once was
and will never be again

I will stay alone
and keep your love safe
past the time and tales
of gods and eternity
