The Sixth Sense

The Sixth Sense



And here I am at age eleven
A sleep, so comfortable, so deep
In a place that's warm close to Heaven
All of a sudden, into the sky, I fly with one leap

At this house, upon that hill
A little further up, I hover above the thorny trees
I see above, below and beyond me, still
Everywhere is calm, moonlight and not a breeze

Even as I struggle to understand
And in the middle of this night
I could fall, as I circle above this land
What a weird and wonderful sight

And so back to Earth, I gently glide
Through this house, I call home
So not a word to anyone  I confide
About this journey and no phone
