Chimera II

One eye open

In morning light

Mother and child and I

We made it through another night

Safe and sound

And all around

This place

There is space

Some call it grace

It's late, late in the day

But better to see

The whole world brighter

When not to do with me

Safe and sound

When love abounds

It teems

Did I dare hope

In my wildest dreams

No need for a medal

Or another award

When the infinite moment

Is its own reward

Oh, Lord

All that time

I ignored

Unconscious or bored

Adrift unmoored

So at last

Kind of prayer

To be alive

Awake, aware

Safe and sound

With those who found me out

There's no more doubt

What it's all about

Just this

Just this

Just this

Just this
