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
