Lie Down With Me Valentine

The spirit must precede the body
Not just accompany it out
The long years of preparation
Building those paper ships
And then pushing them out
Into the cosmic current
To become somebody else
How many times discovering
The same continent over again
But the spirit must build its tent
Camp after so many perilous hikes
It must build a little fire from inside itself
If it would warm the infinite cold
