Tides

Forests of light
could turn the tides
Somewhere only the moon resides
I wanted to try my hand at turning the tides

Anthem
04:39
|
|||
Every crystal pathway glowing bright
Lighting up the road of emerald eyes
When the arc of matter turns to dust
That’s when common travellers turn to us
We who make the constellations sing
Watching Saturn as it sheds its rings
When a planet’s memory subsides
Winds of ether blow beyond your mind
Our mind
Working on the road we have to make
Cobblestone and railroad iron break
Into particles of purple flame
And you know we know you feel the same

Monster
04:42
|
|||
When you called it, you called it
I had not seen it
but when you showed me
I could not un-see it
When you walked me through the logic
I could not deny it
I would never have guessed
But I'm left with my best guesses
What light comes to you now?
Look upon a Monster now
Tell me how to make a Monster
and how to unmake it
in a way that everyone is safe
How to unmake a Monster?

Sparrow
03:47
|
|||
What is the light that unearthed you?
And why have you come here?
Unlike the sparrow
I did not see you flutter in
Only appear
Only appear
Only appear
Only appear
Is it force of habit that's run its course?
of course it is
most days
on the edge of trouble's old place

Jewelry Box
05:32
|

We found your old jewelry box
Dug it up, found that old watch
When did the hands stop turning?
When did it stop?
We buried it for fun
treasure to a child
family secrets
in generations of style
a broken hand
just like Uncle Jim
Did you get your great strength from inner wisdom?
Or did you mutate?
Did you get your great strength
rom a freak accident of our age?
Heros
forever changed
Heros
I've none at my age
but I miss Heros

Purple Lotus
05:22
|
|
||
Gold on your wrists and silver on your fingers
Bronze at your hips
how a memory lingers
and wavers and drifts
all my mind's eye
wants to see again
is that purple flower opening
again
I only wanted to play upon
the edge of your shoulders
with as much care
as the petals that fell
or the wind that
carried them so well
or the wind with
so much to tell
so much to tell us
so much to tell us
on your brave shadow
no more will I know
no more will I know

Collector
05:21
|
|
||
old collectors
walked through and made decisions
only spiders in the corners
have retained precision here
if you find value
I wish you well
to me it's all stories
the tellers of the stories cannot tell
what has been broken has
collected dust of it's own
I am not a collector myself
make yourself at home
mouth wide and
mind wider
did you find that giant spider we once saw?
who -o-o-o-o knows you well?
who -o-o-o-o knows you?
well
I know you
Old brick and old stone
have stories of their own
of their own

Golden Trace

Beyond bliss
something was scracthin' at ya
you heard it
but could not make yourself feel
Only
only locating it by putting together the scope of sound
Could it be me? or could something outside be reaching out?
is that my own body
echoing?
How far in is all the way out?
How far in turns it around?
turns it around?
turns it around
