Keeping
JAIK JOSEPHSON,
65 yrsBEAUSEJOUR, MB
I reach for you in dream
Slow withering arms across an empty bed
I hug air and try
To keep where you would be
Slow withering arms across an empty bed
Hear your voice and find sandalwood sleep
To keep where you would be
I’ve gotten slow to untangle from the home we made
I hear your voice and find sandalwood sleep
Nod off and into that same story of us
I’ve gotten slow to untangle from the home we made
But always comes a cruel morning to seize this nestle
Nod off and into that same story of us
I hug air and try
But always comes a cruel morning
to seize this nestle I reach for you in dream
