My heart did slumber in the night
my spirit seal among the sea as I sleep
I had no human fears
I had nothing to worry about
life has taken its last stand dreams
are a place for life
it seemed a thing that could not feel
the touches of earthly years
tears touched the eyes
Oh, the silence is where I lay to sleep
no motion for my body to feel
my daily life had taken a turn
I now neither hear nor sees
only by years of thoughts and my
writing of ink is what is left of me
rolled round in earth like autumn leaves
with rocks and stones, and trees maybe
Oh, life is something of dreams.
