An Angel Below


angel dreams have come... pulling me

can’t believe what they make me see

all that silence is all around... screaming out of the silent ground

“were you hiding?” now reminded of all that i’ve come to dream


and if i believe that i am still there

i could be received in unguarded air

the guardian of all that reach to keep hold

the keeper of old... an angel below


angel dreams cover over me

make-believe what i cannot see

hidden deep in a hiding place... where i speak of my dying state

as i’m lying... now confiding in all that enter in sleep


i’ve fallen in dreams... i’ve gotten up there

what has made me now is sleeping upstairs

the giver of all that’s taken me on

i’m giving in... gone the darkness of dawn


and if i could reach... that might help me out

i’m lying beneath what’s true beyond doubt

i’m floating in faith... the waves and the sky

i’m dreaming away and waving goodbye
