Into The Current Of Sleep
-------------
There is a certain quiet in watching you
sleep
That’s not unlike the flow
Of observing a river's movement,
As it slowly bends its way down
Past morass and ferns on the coast
To somewhere new and heretofore
unknown--
The current, steady rhytmn of your
breath
Circles through an unconscious world,
Bringing you respite from any troubled
ridge
And hoisting you higher to a route of
dreams
Where I like to feel you,
Clear as a rippling water
Gushing ever gently into me--
And how your eyes quiver , still
Your heave bidding me closer
Like the river beckoning the thirsty to drink :
Would that I could drink your calmness
So you really did glide through me
Quench me --
And bestowing on me your innate joy.
