Meditative spiritual piece

lyrics

You're Asleep

I think
On automatic pilot In a commuter plane.
Flying at night is the most peaceful thing.
These lights are our own Tivoli,
A cathedral of sky.
Going so deep While floating as if through glass
As it forms, is to apprehend How significant smallness can be,
Meaning us in this vast cavern,
Meaning those spires, T
hose good window faces—Look—down there in the dark.
That dark is as good as chocolate & maybe we are almonds
For some god to swallow,
Unless perhaps it’s already happened & here we are in the thick
Of god’s roomy bowels.…
When I say God I mean you, so
Move over, you air-bound Dutchman,
Dozing at the controls, Your headphones on Wagner.
Someone’s paging us from his booth
On another jet I cannot see.
Listen, it must be long distance & I think you better wake up.
I think maybe we are like prayers

That voice now needs.
