How many days before you return
To the woman who waits?
How many silent nights must go by
With no-one at the gate?
How many sheep must I count to
Woo me into a slumber?
How many moons illuminate my
Womb-fires fading ember?
How many love sparks must fizzle
Out in this cocktail of dream?
How can I keep a sun-filled heart
When you're far away upstream?
