stay awhile

sit down beside me

Sit down beside me,
Come, you have nothing to fear,
The sands that slip through your
Hourglass can be forgot
If just for this moment.

Rest, for no care or demand
Will I let encroach,
The gears of this world
Shall creak and stop
And we can smile.

To just lay spellbound
Upon such an emerald carpet,
Nature can embrace both,
And in its own time.

So sit down beside me
And stay awhile,
For you,
I have all the time in the world
