Ad Infinitum
Author : Judy Bond

Lie still with me in this grass bed;

Let us climb stars one after another

Til we reach the topmost top of the

Nightsky in each other's eyes.

Let's not speak;

Our voices do not blend

With the endless medley of cicada lovesongs

Nor can our wit outsparkle fireflies

Lie still with me

Not disturbing the silken curtains of night.

Let us breathe our dreams into the warm air

Where they will remain

Long after we've gone.
