Wait For Me to Soar

May 25, 2012 By // by mco

When all is calm and quiet
In the middle of the night
I close my eyes, draw in my breath
And then begin my flight
.
My soul departs my body
It soars into the skies
Gliding over lakes and hills
Searching for my prize
.
Descending from the clouds above
Into your crowded house
Slipping in between the walls
Creeping like a mouse
.
When I come upon you
Lying peaceful, still, and warm
My soul calls out to yours within
And dreams begin to form
.
We find each other in those dreams
And no one else is there
Time for us it has no end
We meld without a care
.
When the dreams conclude
My soul resumes its flight
Returning to my quiet home
Until our next sweet night
.
So when you think you cannot stand
To miss me anymore
And when you pray your lover
Will come walking through your door
.
Just lay down and close your eyes
And wait for me to soar
Into your dreams, into your heart
Tonight and evermore
.
