Eyes

Eyes

-24 March 2003-

Her eye's held mine
As I drifted away
To the land of dreams
To sleep for the night
And even the next day
I slipped into unconsciousness
Her body close to mine
Warming me up
As I dream cold dreams
Nightmares take me
And thrash my mind
She stay's and holds me
And comfort my soul
Her musical voice
Soft touch to the cheek
I slowly awake
To see an angel
Holding me close
And protecting me
Keeping me warm
From the chill of death
Wrapping me up
And taking me away
To her home in heaven
So far up above
Placing a road beneath my feet
So that I am no longer lost
And no longer wander around
Aimlessly and dumb
Happiness was a block away
From the place I stood
I ran and ran
As fast as I could manage
The faster and farther I traveled
The more my existence thinned out
To almost clear right through
I couldn't see
And could not hear
What you saw
And what you said
Running fast, and blind as a bat
I tumbled and fell
Right off the edge.
