Dreamtime

 

Cuddle closer, the wind is cold

It’s never enough to be near

I want to feel your breath on my bones

Your words to come out of my mouth

Lay back in the sand

          So soft and so cool

A pillow laid out for us as if this was planned

Who knew

That tonight I’d be you

And you would be me as we watched the Earth rise

It’s so bright

          Like a jewel in the sky

Set amidst velvet and the dark sacred space

And when the sun returns

          We will die

          And wake up anew

And drudge through our duties

And burn in the light

But at night

          We’ll return to this place

          To the face

Of the Man in the Moon

And here we’ll remain

For the rest of our lives

And they’ll say we can’t breath

          Or we’re missing our sleep

But every second’s a lifetime and every breath is a crime

          You suffocate me

          With the look of your eyes

And I slip away and I rise

We’re together again in a place all our own

With the scene laid before us

With all the time in the sky

And the Earth, and the Moon

                                 And I’m always you

And it’s all in our minds
