Water Falls

Oh water falls in a dream
What a dream it is water falls
I stand naked and weep
The ground is wet with joy
My shoulders are pounded red then white then red
Oh I am free like a waterfall
To feel everything that I feel
Free like a waterfall
I am falling yet still I fall
Memories of my happy stream
Never stop their sweet mournful song
And the future never comes to me
Just this
Just this
Just this thundering roar

Milo

Hey Milo, I used to sing to you every day
Though maybe not so specifically
I used to sing
"Hey Sunlit Cloud, hey Rainy Day
Hey ragged Mamma of my sea sick dreams"
Hey Milo, do you still remember me?
My voice has changed, but my heart is still the same
It's all our hearts, it's all our hearts
The lover's and the killer's heart
The wise one and the one who fell apart

Oak

Like an oak in the atmosphere
What I thought I had I never had to fear
It was a dream in another's sleep
From what I'm free I'll never ever know
And I never would have found it without the help of a friend
And I never would have found it without the sound of the wind
We are siblings of the new found star
Just a pinhole on an endless page of a book
that doesn't have a start or end
Just one raindrop from a vast cloud
In a sky that stretches sky to sky
The light that passes through that hole
Holds the light of all of our joy
The water in that single raindrop
Holds the depth of all the tears we have cried
Songs of sorrow in throats of laughter
A holy oak in the atmosphere
And I never would have found it without the help of a friend
And I never would have found it without the sound of the wind
We are siblings of the new found star

The big man has come up from the underbrush and given off a smell
His wristwatch counts hours by infinities and the dog sniffs curiously
Somewhere Fortune screams, "I have lost my way", and the Cosmos chimes "Good riddance"
The fig trees swell with such a juiciness, women gather round and blush
I will not say what cannot be said
Oh shoot, I've gone and said it
And if it was God who heard we could not be sure, could just as well been the devil
For round his head grew the slippery elm and his fingernails spiralled like seashells
His eyes clouded up with a thick white fog that billowed out of the sockets
If I do believe what I believe I see, Earth's garden has gone berserk
Saturn's rings spinning round my ears and the moon shining in my throat
The big man of the underbrush whose broad chest I had admired
All whimsied flora'd and fauna'd and shot out straight through mystery's wondrous ass

With You and Without You
07:15
|

|
Arima, arima, arima, arima
No solitude, no harmony, no disharmony
There's nothing there is there
It's all around
The warmth, the coolness, the touch
The absence, the memories, the newness
Play within me and beyond me
With you and without you
With you and without you
I've wandered far afield
and still cannot find...
Like a bird who's flown too close to the sun
You will know me when I burn away

Being Mist
08:17
|
|||
|
Being rock, mist and mind
Being dust of life in deep space
Travelling the vein of a leaf
I have found you again my friend
for no other reason than to be heard once more
A leaf, feather, tiny hair on a blade
Magical ordinary grass
My brother's rage, the tweet of a bird
The word that opens heart and mind
or the slamming of a door
Calls out its name and yours
with no sound
Listen carefully
The gift you left behind
not meant for me, I found
You say leave it behind but I want to be here
Later this summer when the grass is high
The grass in the fields has grown high enough
that I can disappear
Buttercups tower above the bug
like a cluster of the yellowest suns
with Queen Anne's Lace beyond in the beyond
Halo on the go would if you are a halo on the go...
I've never been where I am now and now that place is gone
A transport of pigs moves
and it smell it leaves behind fills my lungs
and speaks your name and mine

Every day when I wake up
and I walk down the street
I put a song in my pocket
for each one that I meet
And I know it's all over
when I feel it's just begun
Wandering down by the river
beside the setting sun
Oh
It's just a dream that I am
a dream that I see
and a dream to be here at all
Now I walk like a demon
and I sing like a swan
each sad incantation
towards that setting sun
And I feel it all over
and I know it deep within
What ever comes of this new day
I'll breathe it out and in
Oh
It's just a dream that I am
and a dream that I see
and a dream to be here at all
