Stay Close To Me
Stretch forth thy hand and touch the palm
Of my hand, write a verse on it and memorize it
Morning feels like lead pressing upon my head and
evenings stare at me with a frown, and from a distant
I could see that you want to break down and cry,
but you were just pressing it in
as you try to resist the violent wind
It is the forced smile that you carry on your face
That bothers me and the symbolic communication
That worries me, when I cannot read your body language
It makes my heart grow and I have to look for an interpreter
To explain the meaning of things that transpire from the
Beginning. I will stay close to you and keep your company
I will stay close to you and teach you modern day philosophy
I will help you to fulfill your dreams when we meet by the stream, I will help you to complete the book and introduce
New recipes to cook, stay close to me and tell me a story, I will stay close to you and open your eyes to wonders that exist in the heavenly skies, stay close to me and learn the secret of the moon and their wish to see you come home soon; Stay close to me and fulfill your heart’s desire
Stay close to me and discover the wonders of the sea.
