Put My Eyes To Sleep
I have felt the heavy mists
of a disappearing life
a life not held within my grasp
and yet I have struggled
I have always struggled
always to travel on
Not alone
not on my own
not alone upon my path
engraved upon my hands
a map of this life's journeys
and some plans
that no earthly soul can read
I open my mind to see
beyond these heavy mists
of these disappearing days
that enclose me
that will someday all to soon
put my eyes to sleep
