Shhh
The moment is over and I'm still here,
Wanting from this eternity of darkness.
The air all around is crisp with a new,
I encourage your warmth without hesitation...
You smile and we mingle, as I hold and we tingle;
Effortlessly wrinkling all fabric and time in a
Dance only we understand...
Leaving secrets on the pillows behind.
The moment is over and I am still here,
Waking from an eternity of darkness.
The new air is cold and alone I replay
Scenes past and every thought shared,
As I sing my first breath to the dawn...
I rise out of bed scratching dreams from my head;
Looking back to make certain,
I leave secrets on the pillows of my mind.
