Stay and Sleep

I can hear him sleeping

I can hear the storm

it's fierce ebony clouds

scudding, it's yellow flashes

spend themselves against

my window pane.

Trees crashed, branches fell,

and my heart no longer knew it's way.

Still he slept, his

gentle breathing at odds with the

violence, that shook my soul,

Can you hear the storm ?

is it inside your realm

is it beyond your pain

is it beyond mine.

The sky lit and intruded

into my domain,

It's clear shadows against my walls,

a dark mark against my heart.

Wake and listen

do not enter that sphere

no, stay and sleep

quieten my province.

Stay and sleep...
