Stay with me a little while
Under the warm of morning
Light slipping through coral veils
Peeling flesh of tangerine.
Breathe with me to feel the vapor
A tumble of our secrets inching
Towards the remains of night
Wayfarers of solitude
Trying to settle still
Knowing nothing we do
Will ever be understood
