Lay Your Cheek On Down

Full of waves and fields,
This universe we glide on in misshapen vessels
Afraid of the spray
Just beyond the glass
Fear the scrape of rocks
Just off the path
Just beyond the wall,
This route of carved tunnels
To be floating there alone in the water
Would be to be in space alone,
Embedded in the stone of the mountain
As in amber
To wrap your arms around the boulder
Because it is the only thing
And the wisest thing around,
Lay your cheek on down
Lay your cheek on down…
