This is how God rocks his children

this is how god rocks his children

 

my body feels weighed down

pleasantly heavy

gravity takes over on my wrists,

my thighs, my ankles, my elbows

all of that is pulled to the ground, and my eyes.

 

tell me a story

about your brother and you.

a smile creeps to the side of my face

when you describe something

excuse me

i was just having a funny thought.

 

we burst out laughing

my eyes blissfully closed.

weighed down by angel dust

it can't possibly be owned by the sandman

at least, not this early.

 

lids closed

chin to chest

wild curly hair fallen around your face.

slowly and slowly

around my head turns with the beat.  

it feels so peaceful.

my hair brushes against

my cheeks

forehead

shoulders

back

and i can feel every strand.

 

i feel on a higher plane

the puritians

the tribal trances

the 60s hippies

i'm on the same level now.

 

i see myself trying to leave my body.

i'm too grounded to project.

but i see the black sky dotted

with bright white stars

like im looking into the sky.

but now i'm flying into it.

i have no boundaries

no limits.

meditate.

 

i feel like i'm being rocked

like a child

a mother rocking her baby.  

i feel like a giant hand cradles me

and rocks me in this circle.

so this is how god rocks his children.

this is how god rocks his children.
