TIME WAVES

I'd like to close my eyes
...and forget the places that I've been.
I'd wish it all away...
with a whisper and a wave.
See heaven in tomorrow's dawn,
(Believe - you must Believe)
Trickle drops of virgin dew
glide
down dusty cheeks of time.

I'd like to close my eyes
...and touch the ones I've lost.
I'd wish them all together...
with a whisper and a prayer.
See immortal endless tides,
(Now - deeply you must Stare)
Dreams of graceful velvet ghosts
roll
twirling under waves so cold.

I'd like to close my eyes
...and forget the things I've seen.
I'd wish it all to fade...
with a whisper and a tear.
See Christmas in a candy cloud,
(Wake up - you must awake)
Transform the smile of innocence
hide
dash beyond the smoky light.

I'd like to close my eyes
...and believe the truths I've learned.
I'd wish it all to mind...
with a whisper and a bow.
See everyday begin before,
(Walk gently - Quiet...quietly)
hopes of gentle calling clowns
tumble
tiny tales aloft, a Life;
a life renew.

I'd like to close my eyes
...and feel time wave.
