Neutral Ground

Neutral Ground

Sea Wolf

Among the trees
and by the river
lying there
my darling shivers
In her sleep
she dreams of winter
whiter than her breast
I feel her heart
move through her chest
warm and steady
as she rests
Hear water ebbing
with her breath
lulling me to sleep
Aa...
Aa...
Light from a source unseen reflected
by the moon on rocks collected
near our bodies unexpected
Pulls us from out dreams
We turn onto our backs and see
a streak of light
above the trees
lie here on our bed of leaves
listening to
each other breath
Aa...
And here
in the sky
lights flash before our eyes
I feel
your warm hand
slipping into mine
we lay
and we wonder when
will I come around
Do I know what
you are feeling now
This morning we drove
out of town
into the hills
looking down
saw the ocean all around
as far as we could see
Continued on into the clouds
bursts of rain
brief and loud
silent mountains
tall and proud
Here is where we lay
Aa...
Aa...
And here in the sky lights
flash before our eyes
I feel
your warm hand
slipping into mine
we lay
and we wonder when
Will I come around
Do I know what
you are feeling
here on neutral ground
