Back

The sweet caress of sleep
washes away the indignities of the day
places me in a sailboat
sends me on my way

I sail across a sea
of tears that seem like wine
to land that feels like carpet
in a boat that rocks like the cradle

The sea falls away

I am in the sky
a sky that's filled
with dreams that look like clouds

Far beneath, I still see
the day's outrage
as white foam
on a sea of peace
