Lullaby No. 20 - Under His Wings

The taste of glass
Was shrieking
Carved a high pitch
To pour
From the gullet
A madness we once knew
My body and I
Late at night
The unrest of days
Unraveling
Psychosomatic
I slept
My spirit wandered
Dreamscapes everlasting
Transient materials
Wakefulness was intangible
As it came
Landscapes appeared
Under His wings
Men who lie with mankind
Close to the essence
In the thoughts of the clouds
And the wishing winds
That carried the flying birds
Through the falling rain
The ground rose up
The candle on my desk flickered
And the shadow danced on the wall
Let us scale the cave
Where essences smoke
To find a light
For ourselves
My body and I
For life is always on the mind
Of the burning souls
A spark at the apex
Of the empty glass
As the wanting
Passed the gullet
And singed
Psychosomatic
