"When Slumber Calls"
When Slumber calls,
you relent, effortlessly.
As if the Seasons cannot proceed
without your acquiescence.
As if the Moon does not know
its path without your vision.
As if Water begins to question
its shape without your body.
Like a swan obeying its song of origin,
you breathe into the Night,
Longing for the mystery of darkness
coming through you,
reminding you,
loving you,
altering you,
Again and again and again...
