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.
