Count Me

Do you count me when you count the stars?
Do you feel my pulse when you lie still and silent?
Do you hear me run my hands in my hair when you walk through leaves?
Do you count me when you count days?
Do you feel my weary wildness behind your eyes when you close them?
Do you hold my hands in an effortless dance?
Do you count me when you count pages?
Do you read the truth to me as they turn?
Do you ask me the questions I've asked you?
Do you count me when you count the clouds?
