Colors behind your eyes
A slow pastel dusting
Forming speckled images
Of a distant ocean roar
Your pillow listens in

To the lawless deep blue
That can sometimes churn
Waves in your stomach
Taking you back to a time
When you were young

Where you can be innocent
Once again in a place
Far from the world of sin
That pushes against
The coastline of your body
