Allister Reynolds: September 2009

Sub

Its like we were never truly part of the scheme
as if everybody walked around
us
in a dream
and we slept the night on through
without a kiss
or a thought of you

i couldn't help but pass the time
with a story and rhyme
and your eyes
were listening
as they drifted on and off to sleep
to your subconscious
where you think and feel and weep
and keep
and hide
the truth on the inside.

Sleeping Bear

We were greater than the great lakes
And I let you know
Just how much
My body takes
We awake
And find ourselves sleeping on the shore
With your mother looking out and listening
We were glistening
And rising to the top

Wind sent the trees to shake
Leaves flutter in the wake
Leaving me fighting
Just for a breath

While you lay your head low
And breathe only water
I am thinking of your mother
And her precious only daughter

What if the story was told
And stretched and askew
What if it wasn’t the islands?
What if it was me? What if it was you?
Would it still be told by few,
Believing it true?

Winds
And sand
And forest grow
But I held your fingertips
Like our final kiss
Just like your lips
