FallingAwake2

Either Side of Sleep

On either side of sleep is you
The drift off and ascent, too
You’re the route my thoughts pursue

Shadows fall, I lay and spew
You’re the highs in night’s review
You’re the peaks near Kathmandu

Darkness hits, swallowing blue
As frost bites, you warm me through
Snow-blind sleep, except your view

First light breaks, it thaws, renews
You rig the sky with cheerful hues
Fill thin air, my breath ensues

Dusk to dawn, your thought on cue
Even dreams, my love stays true
On either side of sleep is you
