Come to me my darling. Wrap your arms around my neck. Kiss my eyelids and my nose. Say you’ll always hold me close. You don’t know this yet, but someday you’ll see, these will be the good old days. All your questions will hang like your grandmother’s wash. Rippling in the wind. Dripping in the sun. And you’ll let them go. And you’ll let them go. Sometimes no answer is all there is. But you can’t deny birds in the sky are beautiful when they fly. I’m so lucky I’m the one who gets to hold your tiny hand. The past is over and it’s gone. The future hasn’t yet begun. The present’s just fine as long as you’re mine. (Chorus) Come to me my darling. Wrap your arms around my neck. Kiss my eyelids and my nose. Say you’ll always hold me close.

I have dreams, every now and then, that feel like memories. I find myself walking in a world much like this one. When I wake I recall running through the dunes, as if I knew the way. In the pale, saffron light of an alien sun, fine sand looks like gold dust. Oh and I remember you. You were there too. Large, like moons, Orion’s string of pearls hang in the sky. Then you turned to me and said, “Alnilam’s the brightest one.” When I wake I recall standing by the sea, tall grass swaying in the wind. Tide pools sparkling, teeming with life, singing a symphony of blue. When I wake I recall running through the dunes, as if I knew the way. In the pale, saffron light of an alien sun, fine sand looks like gold dust. Shine on Alnilam
