So It Was Then

So it was, so it was then 
Come what may, I've been happy 
So it was, so it was then 
Time turns into space 

Things of no moment 

Sucking the sky 
So-wrong-somewhere 
You can stop believing but it doesn't go away 
The radiant ones never know what's coming 
You can be here if you're gonna be there 

Things of no moment 

Falling away 
Falling away 
Falling away 
Falling away 

Distant fingers searching 
In the black blanket of Scorpio and 
Whirling 'round replete and gushing 
A flooding flash bulb sunrise 

Colossal and immortal shine 
Envelopes me from a single source and 
Hidden in the ceaseless movement 
We share our secret sleep and 

Diaphanous diamond supreme beings 
without morning breath and seeing 
Our hands clasp tight to make a fist 
Of the impermanence of meaning 

The nightingale that sings in the woods 
She could, she should, she takes to fly and 
I am spitting a rainbow stream to the sinking sky and 

Blind me in my ghostly lust of 
The flickering nova lighted dust.

Inexhaustible Dark

Inexhaustible dark 
Undone by the sun
Drifting to awe, to all, to one 
Inexhaustible dark 
Beyond pursuit 
We can't get beyond perception to the truth 
Behind every fear is a wish 
Behind every wish is a fear 
Whatever you can see can see you 
Take the words and leave what you give 
Inexhaustible dark 
Beyond pursuit 
We can't get beyond perception to the truth... 

Seeds of destruction empty into a river that sings 
Never-fading Lady of shade and the emptiness she brings 
Fire in the water 
Slake the thirsty sea 
Cleaving the waves of air that would not and cannot be 
From the jaws of the savage beast you will be set free 
Like a trampling horse snuffing out the stars that will not cede 
Searing stars and gaping jaws of dreams wrought by the sky 
Sky giants take root of the flesh and the flamed impetus of light... 

Waiting like thunder, I wait for you 
Feeling like rain, I fall 
Carried on the wind we go by 
Skipping across the water to the sand 
Mouth to mouth and hand in hand 
Mouth to mouth and hand in hand 

Thoughts are just the surface of a river of us....

The Future Isn't What It Used To Be

The future.... 

The change is in us... 

The future isn't what it used to be... 

I'm not really keeping my mind on my mind 
Don't look away 
All reminiscence is fiction 

I'm sorry, so sorry, I love you. 

I can hear the sound 
A deathless sound all your own... 

I'm not really keeping my mind on my mind 
Don't look away 

I'm sorry, so sorry, I love you.

Smoke Through A Keyhole

In the mystery 
In the secret 
In the tale 
Entering your mouth and leaving 
Traveling deep 
Filling the space... Filling the space... 
Receiving from the sky, love letters signed 
Nothing forever lasts 

Death is a sunny day 

Gone 

Stillness and quiet like smoke through a keyhole 

Gone...consider yourself gone 

Death is a sunny day, when everything you love falls away 
Death is a woman's smile, erasing everything you'll ever know...and she knows...yes, she knows 
Death is a blooming flower, that reminds you of what you've missed in your wasted hour 
Death is losing control, letting go the reason, and the hold...and she knows...yes, she knows.
