A caring hand took my own tenderly at first
Eyes, soft, shining green like moss with dew gave mine rest
The moments of abandon were real and a lightness flew
Past the face from the fields to the pounding restless heart within
But slowly the comfort silence grew loathe
It spurned away in fear without more
I dream. I dream still of the shade from the sun.
I am ready to rest.
