HIbernation (written 08/09)

What if I shut my eyes
And make the world disappear,
Until many moons and tides
Pass so I can hold you near.


In my slumber I’ll be free
Of the longing to see your face.
In my dreams you're next to me,
In another time and place.


Not forty winks, but forty weeks I'll stay,
Under the covers so warm.
Safe from the lingering of each day,
I'll weather out the storm.


When the sun finally shines so bright
And you find me deep in sleep,
Kiss me until I see the light
And I’ll be yours to keep.
