folky song night at the art-house...
(please forgive the excessively clumsy guitar playing...it's
been a shamefully long time since i picked the poor baby up
and gave her some love ;))
lyrics mainly inspired by emerson's essay on experience
swim and glitter
all things swim and glitter
ghost-like we glide
dearest nature
whisper darling never mind
where do we find ourselves
going to extremes
pass thru moods and colors
beads on a string
sleepy-eyed at noontime
idle on the stair
stretching out above and below
leading lovely nowhere
every ship promises romance
but the one we travel in
so we look to the horizon
where love hangs on every sail
object of love
evanescent
shimmers with lubricity
slipping thru fingers
love clutch gently
the thousand incantations
whispered in the night
may cauldron shatter
when the real thing arrives
bless the miller
at the bottom of the stream
waiting for those above
to lower the dam
