Einstein’s Apple
Time is a player in every play, forever running forward even as I try to claw my way into the past. If I don’t provide a role, time writes itself in without regard for my intended plotline. Like the weather, time is by turns gentle and fierce. I must pay attention lest I run afoul of it and lose my life and limb. Though time is an arc I see swinging in my mind it is still the arrow shot and I am simply the fool with the apple.
Take a vacation from your expectations
*
Talk to me before I sleep
Talk to me before I sleep
Lay your hand upon my cheek
Talk to me before I sleep
All the years are yours to keep
Talk to me before I sleep
Fold me deep within your speech
Talk to me before I sleep
Hold me tight when I start to reach
Talk to me before I sleep
Never let me touch the sheet
Talk to me before I sleep
Warm me with your wondrous heat
Talk to me before I sleep
Precious are the things you teach
Talk to me before I sleep
Love and kindness is how you greet
Talk to me before I sleep
Into darkness let me seep
Talk to me before I sleep
In my dreams it’s you I seek
Talk to me before I sleep
I fear that I am in too deep
Talk to me before I sleep
Wake me to the morning dew
Talk to me before I sleep
Let me know it’s always you
