comfort

i know a man who hurts so much
he's distracted, he goes deep
he gets so low
but i see in him the truth, so much
that i always comfort him
he says that i always comfort him

i just say this;
'hush, my darling, there's nothing to stir you up tonight
rest your troubled head
and lets ride that stallion sleep together'

i tell him fighting himself must be wrong
he says i feel what is mostly heard
i say 'can you relax for me, be strong?'
he says i soothe him with my words
he says that i soothe him with my words, with my mouth


i just say this;
'hush, my darling, there's nothing to stir you up tonight
rest your troubled head
and lets ride that stallion sleep together'


he says he has no home to go
that his vision is lost, from fear
he says he's lost
so i say 'i know
but there is always room for you here, you know?
i tell you,
there's always room for you at my hearth
in my home'


i just say this;
'hush, my darling, there's nothing to stir you up tonight
rest your troubled head
and lets ride that stallion sleep together'


and then he holds me
so desperately
and in the powerful dance
the transformational blue source of the firelight
he's a woman
he has become a woman for me
reaching out as far as women will reach for comfort
