Lay Me Down

Crystal eyes that reflect but never see Heart of glass, warm but frozen still Unspoken cries of a child unseen Spirit untouched Taken hostage by an iron will Unmasked for a season Danced outside a flowered wall Followed time unchecked To dwell within the chill of an early fall. If here I lay me down Among the hail, on frozen ground Silver shards to pierce my heart Let fortunes cloak float away Hands entwined in tortured prayer Follow me home, angels waiting there. A teardrop falls, a single trace Of soul untouched Left behind as the battle soared For life, for time Frantic hands try any door. If here I lay me down Let tears soften unforgiving ground Awashed in light Lift opened eyes and hands unbound Heated hearts swiftly melt This prayer was felt, Followed me here, Angels hover, ever near.
