Eyes To The Sun
©Jerry Axson

You sleep in the winter,
beneath a blanket of snow,
arise in the springtime,
beyond things you don’t know,
the world is your oyster,
walls of abalone shell,
painted soft reds and deep blues,
cover things I won’t tell,
So hush little baby,
child, don’t you cry,
your back on the arch,
your face to the sky -

Eyes to the sun,
could not turn them away,
eyes to the sun......

You’re restless in wanting,
but you do not know why,
there’s a banquet before you,
but you’re starving inside,
yet hope springs eternal,
I can see in your eyes,
to sleep in the winter,
in the springtime arise,
So hush little baby,
child, don’t you cry,
your back on the arch,
your face to the sky -

Eyes to the sun,
could not turn them away,
eyes to the sun,
blinded today...
