Ireland



























come with me
and leave for a while the world 
that finds it so easy to forget you

At Dawn We'd be in Ireland
Me, where I am, with you in my mind
in a plane that relies on my command
on when to fly and when to land 
or when to fall
beyond the wall of clouds
I hear the invisible ticking of that digital clock
dots appearing in liquid air 
reminding us that this won't last
as much as we need it to
as much as I need it to

Exactly like how time is never enough 
where we used to be
where we always return
where we are trapped 
immobile in that cruel joke

Life should be the dream
and we escape by waking up to this:

chaos and colors smiling in perfect harmony
in seats suspended a thousand miles above land
flying not in worry nor uncertainty
your hand resting on my hand
Ireland below us
three moons above us
in a purple sky with blue stars 
here
Where we are always safe
where peace in me is what you find
where I can always read your mind

Where it happens all at once
where time we never had and time we will have
are all present in this moment
that stretches to the ends of infinity
and laughter is laughter that never retires
and tears are merely tears never stained with fear
no thoughts of leaving and being left behind
no thoughts of keeping and being kept aside

Where you look into my eyes
and you see your eyes 
reflecting the secrets of my soul
stories that only you can bear to contain
without judgement or effort
because my stories are your stories
here, where you and me
are one and the same
your hand resting on my hand
The universe smiling above us
Ireland below us,
patiently waiting
until its time for me 

to wake up.
