Golden Eyelids

	As you close your eyes
	From the water
	A golden light wanders with the birds
	Where have you been
	What have you seen
	All the peace when you come following
	I’ll tell you it’s worth it all
	On my icy rim
	Behind your golden eyelids
	Are drops of your hair
	Oh, but your tears
	That your cancer’s fade
	On the source of it
	On your voice sings rain
	My twins were born
	Far too early
	Called out and laid in our bed of heat
	Lead me from this dark house
	With your bold fingers
	Turn this wicked toxin into a golden church
	Please tell me it’s worth it all
	On your heart beats rain
	Behind your golden eyelids
	Float with birds in your hair
	Oh, no words
	That your mouth left unread
	Oh my arms are your bed
	Your heart beats red
	You have such a good heart
	For wondering
	All the peace when
	I come following?
	You told me it’s worth it all
	On my icy rain
	Worn behind your golden eyelids
	Beyond the last words you said
	Oh, I followed
	On my float away kids
	Let your arms be our bed
	And my eyes see red
