Lay Yourself Aside

Colored lights speak
The scent upon the breeze
Glowing numbers grow
The birds arrive in threes
The earth turns slower still
In a Christful of empty space
That the devil yearns to fill
With an artifact of grace
You extend your arm
It's golden downy fur
Sways like the beach grass
Until the oceans pass away
Pass up and out and far away
Through halls of glass sarcophagi
Through the pupil of lidless eye
Through heavy blankets of gaseous sky
O, lay yourself aside
Sifting through the shifting sand
Eyebrows scattered east and west
Sucking stones on eroding thrones
No hope of rest or going home
The day as long as it is wide
O, lay yourself aside
