| The lake was big as an ocean
|
| An ocean of my fears
|
| The mountains rise clouds in my eyes
|
| And I brought myself out here to heal
|
| Hear the hum of hummingbird wings
|
| The call of everything
|
| My heart’s elephant sized with love of life
|
| But in the dark it’s too loud loud loud loud loud
|
| In the day I’m fine to be floating the line
|
| Above and below the water
|
| The shallow dive is no less a try
|
| To see underneath you don’t have to go deep
|
| When the water’s this clear
|
| If you look down once you could fall through
|
| But that’s not what I want to do
|
| That’s not what I want to do
|
| Every day becomes night sure as rain is right
|
| That’s when I want you here
|
| When the sky eats up all of the light
|
| I want that to feel blanket-like
|
| But my bare-eyed view only lets through
|
| A few thousand pinpricks whispering blue
|
| While the rest of the black takes me all the way back
|
| With the space echo hum of the universe drums
|
| In a vacuum void of any dreams I’ve dreamed
|
| I can’t lay myself down under this feeling
|
| I stare and stare and wait for things
|
| With the goldenrod and the pines and rocks |
