open wide

on the edge of sleep
thoughts run deep and
conversation tends to threaten the secrets
that consciousness keeps
so it's the most revealing time to speak
or listen, guess it depends on what's your mission
listen twice and talk once if that's your disposition
this position i find myself in of asking questions
often have to wrestle with another's suggestions
the whispers in your ear from the heat below
tempting you to walk across the coals
contrary to the softer call from the soul
reminding of purpose and directing you to slow
its real easy to trip if you push the tempo
but can you maintain your grace if you simply let go
i've been wondering about that since the get go
if you have any ideas i've got a paper and a pencil
i'm happy to take notes of course this life is full of learning
and i only know i know nothing yet inside i have this burning
urge to be submerged in all there is or was or could be
but suppose there's certain woes if i stray from where i should be
i don't feel restricted by knowing my limitations
there's beauty in discovering eternity through patience
so i can hold on a little longer as i need to
and share you a perspective from the eyes that i see through
