Echoes

Overhead the albatross

Hangs motionless upon the air

And deep beneath the rolling waves

In labyrinths of coral caves

An echo of a distant time

Comes willowing across the sand

And everything is green and submarine.

And no one SHOWED us to the land

And no one knows the where's or why's.

Something stirs and something tries

AND starts to climb toward the light.

Strangers passing in the street

By chance two separate glances meet

And I am you and what I see is me.

And do I take you by the hand

And lead you through the land

And help me understand

The best I can.

And no one callS US TO MOVE ON

And no one FORCES DOWN OUR EYES

No one speaks and no one tries

No one flies around the sun....

CLOUNDLESS everyday you fall

Upon my waking eyes,

Inviting and inciting me

To rise.

And through the window in the wall

Come streaming in on sunlight wings

A million bright ambassadors of morning.

And no one sings me lulabyes

And no one makes me close my eyes

So I throw the windows wide

And call to you across the sky....
