Knots of May
03:54
|
|||
Pretty is and pretty was
like silver from the Golden Dawn
Shifting wind and burning straw
together make my will the law
If we turn the tide to the afternoon stars
and wait upon the shore for the light from afar
if we play the flutes to greet the rosy dawn
or leave our dances before we’re already gone
then the sky will open and close with the light
of a thousand clouds raining stars in the night
then we can separate the heart from the stone,
leave all our lives sleeping before we get home
All that is and all that does
shakes the way the ocean was
it sways in waves just like the sea
conceives, floats and is drowning me
Pretty is and pretty does
like silver from the Golden Dawn
Shifting clouds is disarray
cast shadows on the knots of may
If we turn the tide to the afternoon stars
and wait upon the shore for the light from afar
if we play the flutes to greet the rosy dawn
or leave our dances before we’re already gone
then the sky will open and close with the light
of a thousand clouds raining stars in the night
then we can separate the heart from the stone,
leave all our lives sleeping before we get home

Wishing Away
04:23
|
|||
We’re taking my time
with all wishing away
Under the brine
under her sway
Over my head
over the fray
We’re taking my time
with all wishing away
Isn’t it good it over
isn’t it good it mine
It’s taking the time
we wishing away
Their taking whats mine
in lovely way
Over field, drift, and vine
over field, drift away
It’s taking the time
we wishing away
Isn’t it good it over
isn’t it good it mine

Peach

It’s there for me
in mirror clouds
instantly
Don’t hold on
hold on
Like the sun
above the din
always shining

Full of Us
02:33
|
|||
You fly right
to the Elms and Oaks and whitened shores
and sparkle by
the rivers with aprons of tree leaf shores
burying the trace
full of us
of the wine we couldn’t taste
full of us
never dim the chase
full of us
your fire light
your eyes aligned awash with skys
under my night
in alphabets that cannot lie
burying the trace
full of us
of the wine we couldn’t taste
full of us
never dim the chase
full of us

Swan
03:21
|
|||
Parting waves
in wakes of dreams
she rests above the shadow trees
Black as day
aware of everything
sinking, singing, always seeing
Swan aloft an azure meadows
sing the sun in cloudy tongue
wait for me
don’t wait for me

Waiting
06:28
|
|||
Reaching roots of Maple
a wider crown of Elm
a path of Birch and Boxwood,
colder than the deepest well
Crowded into silence
burning in the streets
closed to your questions
rivaling the heartbeat
With all the objects returned to flame
with all the subjects done the same
Rosy ‘round the middle
rosy ‘round the shine
roses ‘for and after
flowers of mine
For my love
forgotten trees
forty days way from these
nine inside our magic box
and seven rings around my heart
All the flowers and all the bees
all the sun’s rays on the sea
all the stars and all the leaves
and all the seasons waiting
