lyrics

All life's riches
pouring out of dream
reminding me
why I breathe
(give & believe)

Great forest, so high
from a seed,
made of days like dewdrops on a leaf

running down my cheek,
years without name

all the shells
all the colours of the meadow
raindrops on my pillow

Whose arms find me
if I reach a little more
offering my flame?

~

First morning of sunlight, first question:
Who are you?
(I ask the rising fire)

there was no reply:
the colours spilled over the page of the sky
(the colours spilled over)

raindrops on my pillow
feathers in the meadow

on my first waking, soft touch of a stormy sky
seaspray of a summer dawn, kiss open my eye

with the lips a rose in dewlight,
adorn,
anoint the morn with jasmine to touch the light reborn

How flowers all life's longing in earth & sky,
Fount of all life, your silent mouth
sing me, receive me, more love

(Running away with a dream
into life, into love
never wondered why,
how deep, how high!)

all is in reply:

the shadow
of your love
lights all the sky

~
Visions
of all the flags braided together
such that made us weep

no deception anywhere

Singing wild life back into the tamed heart

and the lightness of dream
cast upon the waking world
so all our future
shimmers like water
and all we make
instantly

shared awareness

real uniqueness

Such is where mists of night give way
brighter
to mystery
of day
