September dribbles - 21

Lay down your swords;

Lay down your flaming arrows; lie       

Upon your shields, wielding the dream of life;

We’ll raise you high.                            

Lay down your anger                           

Righteous indignation; fierce

Denial won’t protect your weary smile;    

We’ll raise you high.

                                                           

Lay down your victory;

Lay down defeat;                                 

Lay down

And sleep.
