Times

Times I am lying here awake Trying to sleep, but it keeps me from rest. What it is I do not know - aching in my mind. Return to this place - time has gone past I feel I am missing a beat of my heart As I lay in chains, my duvet like a rock fall Squeezing the breath from my lungs To dream of flying upstairs To hear the tears of my cry My voice a hollow excuse for noise These times are mine Close my eyes, close my eyes Let the shore wash over me Let the moonlight lay cold on my bare skin, Close my eyes and hold my sides. These times pass me by - Times of ages old Times of trying to understand I am missing a beat of my heart I have an itch I cannot scratch. Rest now - breath steady Tomorrow will reveal a path - a mirror of honesty. I am lying here awake.
