Counting

The fire paints the light,
The window weeps with silent rain.
You're huddled, hidden from the night,
Your world becomes a silent plain.
The copper glow within your hair,
A silent wonder, rich and rare.

You read, you read, the world fades out,
The world fades out, a silent doubt.
Lost in the word, so still, so vast,
Beyond all future, all the past.
You read, you read, the world fades out,
The world fades out, a silent doubt.
You read, you read, the world fades out,
A silent doubt.
Lost in the word, so still, so vast,
Beyond all future, all the past.

The book is but an open door,
The world outside is there no more.
The scent of tea, the ember's gleam,
You live inside another's dream.
The blanket holds you like a nest,
Where your own soul can come to rest.

You read, you read, the world fades out,
The world fades out, a silent doubt.
Lost in the word, so still, so vast,
Beyond all future, all the past.
You read, you read, the world fades out,
The world fades out, a silent doubt.

The blackbird watches, soft and low,
And in your stillness starts to know,
That who can lose the self will be
Immersed in pure serenity.
A silent offering you bring,
A quiet, consecrated thing.

You read, you read, your soul takes flight,
Your soul takes flight into the light.
Now found within the word, so vast,
A future born from all this task.
You read, you read, the world's so vast, 
A future’s born from all the past.
No more sleep, 
Born – a silent dawn.

You read, you read, the world fades out,
The world fades out, a silent dawn.
Lost in the word, so still, so vast,
Beyond all future, all the past.
You read, you read, the world fades out,
The world fades out, a silent doubt.
