In The Peaceful Moments Prior To Sleep

 

In The Peaceful Moments Prior To Sleep

 

In the peaceful moments prior to sleep

I hold you close as consciousness withdraws

And as embracing we each other keep

I long to join my loving soul with yours

And travel birdlike far across the sea

To paradise where suffering’s no more

As one both man and woman we would be

Androgynous like once we were before

And in that paradise the truth we’d know

And understand its mystery complete

Reluctantly away from there we’d go

And separate our souls that once did meet

To waken in forgetfulness of bliss

Yet still embracing you and I would kiss
