Lyrics
Toes in socks
Blanket wrapped round
AC below freezing
Icicles atip my nose
Settled back in my recliner
About to set adrift
On a sea of needed slumber
Leave me be
While I sit ‘neath the willow
On a bright summer day
Listening to the curlew call
I spy a skiff just begging me aboard
I settle in and listen
to the lapping of oar against pond
Water lilies face skyward
In peaceful repose
I lean outward
to skim their surface
Certain that touching nature
Will touch my soul
I fall from my recliner
Trapped in blanket
Like a floundering fish out of water
No help comes
They left me be
A nap gone wrong
I cry for help
Enter a child nigh on 13
Phone in hand
Forever memorializing
My plight on the book of faces
Sweet somnolence
How I yearn for you
Return to me in peace
Return to me in peace
One day in the not too distant future
As it passes all too quickly
You’ll find yourself, just as I
Toes in socks
Blanket wrapped round
AC below freezing
Icicles atip your nose
Settled back in your recliner
About to set adrift
On a sea of needed slumber
Hoping to be let be
Your progeny hiding in the shadows
Camera in hand
Waiting to preserve
Your finest moment
in quiet repose
Sweet somnolence
How I yearn for you
Return to me in peace
Return to me in peace
Style
