The Origin Of SleepI am a little girlchasing butterflies remembering all that was yet still I sleep in mother's arms why can I not wake? I am a baby dreaming of birds and thistle flowers and stone and creatures of the earth I remember many years from now yet still I sleep cradled in mother's arms why can I not wake? I am a woman asleep by the river bed I speak to myself for so very long now I’m so very cold so very still lungs rife with stagnant air why can I not wake? mother hold me cradle me close to you and kiss me goodbye lay my body to the ground that I may bloom to seed the soil I am a little girl again running through poppy fields dancing through misty meadows chasing butterflies chasing myself to sleep remembering so many years ago cradled in mother's arms and again.... I sleep I am a baby sleeping again in mother's womb remembering all that was fading now... I am awake |
