She Said

leave the lights on she said
i need to find a path wide open
see where my dreams are going

as she crawled into bed
folded the sheets into a kite
for a later flight

want you join me she said
holding out her hand
i took it on command

no way of knowing what comes next
as we both closed our eyes
and opened the sky

I really love this sweet poem, Mike. It could even apply to a father putting his little child to bed with the comfort of "folded sheets into a kite...."
