My Heart will not sleep
3 January 2016

The mind called awake
To spirits that roamed in clouds
Genies and moonbeams
Eyes sunk horizons
Over the face of the night
As the moon breathed white
The soul in waking
Stood upon brink of morrow
Between hope and life
Once upon a Time
Between sorrow and blue rhyme
I saw morning light

Eyes scorched through the night
Met sunrise like white waters
The stillness redeems
I saw you in me
Physical awareness hit
The borders succumbed
Seek no more the frame
Whispered waterfalls in me
Everywhere is you

The rivers and seas
Joined with oceans in my soul
Sketched blue tidal waves
Play of ebb and flow
The shells left on the me shore
Spoke of Times’ matter
Matter cast away
Mind in wraps soul in light sparks
I walk the heavens
Eyelids will flutter
The racing of worlds in me
My Heart will not sleep
