Tune me out, I’m sinking deep,
Soft into a smoky sleep
Earthen air caress my face,
Soothe me with your simple grace

Lift me up inside your scent,
Up until we clutch the sky,
Up until my strength is spent,
Let me swim inside the night

Darkness drudge under my sheets,
Till the friction turns to heat,
Wrapping me in woolen warmth,
Swirling like a sudden storm

Let the thunder pound me down,
Cinders dancing at the sound,
As a fissure widens, woken
By the sky as it is broken

Gentle drips run down my face,
Searching, lurking, now misplaced
From the spiky stone above,
Setting out to see some love

Light begins to seep between
Cracks throughout this dreary dream,
Breaking barren basalt walls,
Blowing bubbles as I fall

Slipping sudden from my sleep,
Thudding on the frizzy floor,
Bludgeoned by the dawning day,
I’m blinded by its rays at play…

Here I am awake, alive,
Staring out into the light,
Wishing night would soon set in,
Dragging me to dream again
