Convalescence -

Say good night and rest your eyes

Please don’t let me go

I try each day to come back to you

I’m still in here… Somewhere

Every cell in my body fighting… Healing

Particles of light bleed through the window glass

Speckles shining on my brow

Day after day… Night after night fighting… Dreaming

Hold my hand tight

Don’t let me slip away

It’s not the end it’s only the beginning

For when you wake I’ll be by your side

Every breath in my lungs reaching… Leaving

Particles of life bleeding through the window glass

Speckles of dust cover my face

Day after day… Night after night… Fleeting… Leaving

Say good night and rest your eyes

Maintain this vigil

I’m still in here somewhere

For when you wake, I’ll be by your side
