When I walked w/ God
they feared me
Feared that I might
heal them,
and rescue from the
precious pain they guard
like misers,
like a dragon slumbering
over its worthless horde.
Sleep then,
while I stand guard.
But when we wake to see
what color the sky has
become at this hour,
remember I warned you
but you just babbled on,
deep in dreams.
Well!
What Nightmare was that?
It's past us now.
What will you dream tonight?
