gently into the Dream

Forget what I see, forget what I've seen
Hold me down softly, free me from sin
All that I am, all I have ever been
Gently, son, gently
Into the dream
So that time and space won't keep us apart
To dwell in your memory, free of the shame
As years and forgetting atone for the blame
A home, son, my home
Within your heart
The one that I gave you and told you to keep
Until the day came I would need it again
To scare away gods and demons and men
No sad songs, son
But sing me to sleep
Of no looking back, only straight ahead
Today is no different, though my eyes cannot see
This place where I go that my mind can't conceive
teach me again, son
These lessons I've taught you
This eternal journey that starts at the end
Of a life filled with love, my last wish will be
Take mine with you, son, I'll take yours with me
Before I begin, son,
Ease me into the Dream

The song would be great to hear. As a poem, it has a strong lyrical quality that asks to be sung.

that good night
Dylan Thomas-
Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I like your peaceful quiet approach much more. Sounds much more pleasant. One thinks also of Bob Dylan and some Van Morrison. However the thing is you don't always have a choice.
Your own poem/ lyrics are beautiful. As has been said, could be a lullaby! Tom

Bob Dylan probably took his name from Dylan Thomas but that's another story. Or in other words indeed, this is the story, knocking on heaven's door.
Sorry I couldn't resist. Cheers James
