Haven
03:15
|
|||
There’s something I can’t see
An uncertain memory
In the blue made by the sun
Is the shape of what would leave
Is it a haven that you need
To drift like accidental sleep
Like the milkweed on the breeze
You are the silk you are the seed
Trying to free what you know
You’ll kill if you keep
Trying to free what you know
Like the restless spring that comes
Full of promises to leave
Still you hold on to her dress
As she slips out in the dawn

Grace Falls

Grace falls
At my door again
Still I wait
To bring it in
And add it to the bouquet
with the flowers from the other day
If I gave them all away
What would catch the light
Of this winter day
An empty vase holds the place of the beauty I have known
Is all this time gone to waste as I wait for the unknown?
Grace falls at my door again
Still I wait
to bring it in

Rose Beads
04:22
|
|||
Petals squeezed to pulp and pierced
Tied on thread around her neck
I can smell the flowers fresh
Blackened blush and hardened sweetness
And every time I call she knows
A postcard tucked between the pages
I ask her if she’s doing well
She says nothing round here is really changing
Coyote found me on the trail
Wading through last winter’s snowfall
I thought of it the whole way home
You weren’t surprised to hear he’d been there
I want to lay out in the pasture
Out beneath the harp
I want to lay out under the stars
And find the heart
I want to lay out like the snow upon the grasses
Remember when you showed me how
To turn the petals into clay
Rolling into beads we lay
Them in the sun to dry

Flock
04:19
|
|||
Everything left like wings in sunlight
A flock takes flight
The sound of beating wings like hearts
Outside your body
Desert eyes
The trees they curve around us
Moving through the shadows of the moon
Voices break the darkness of the morning
Who am I to hold on to their song
Ocean drained out into space
Sun is frozen in its place
All the world is gone away
Forest floor
Your feet fall softly into
The green of life the green of all you’ve been
Let me break back into the morning
I would die to see it all again
I would die to see it all again
Ocean drained out into space
Sun is frozen in its place
All the world is gone away
All we had
Left like snow upon the ground
Too warm, too new
It came like winter
Left like spring
My heart it melts
And bends like wings
