Songbird on forest hill
Hidden whippoorwills
Singing the melody of dreams
Juniper cathedral evergreen
Through the window frame
Across the garden and down the lane
Your dress glows
Yellow patterned calico
The frisbee dog he has found his shade
Next to the barn that our grandfathers raised
The climbing trees
And grass stains soaked into our jeans.
Summer has come
Peeling peaches for the pie
Elated sun
Hang our clothes out on the line
Summer has come
Throw the blanket on the lawn
Elated sun
Hiking trail at mornings dawn
Wool is spun
Spinning wheel to bobbin wound
Day is done
Weigh the fleece off by the pound

Indigo

We drove out
To a country town
And waded in
Amongst the crowd
That formed beneath
The great flying balloons
Virginia native
Born and raised
Feet planted firmly
Red aged clay
My golden haired,
My child you will bloom
The sun rolls over
Across the land
The hare and fox
Will tarry home again
We'll get home
Have a feast
My love, is there enough for us
Yes there's enough for all of us
Back home
Night light
Inviter
Locator
The fawning
Curator
Gathering indigo
Up from the garden loam
Arrange, the bouquet
Under autumn leaves
An epiphanic breeze
Awaits, awaits
Tales from long ago
Riding with the buffalo
The brave
Stories in the bed
Rest your dandelion head
And pray, you pray
All the grass will grow
Know the things you say you know
Your way, you say
Tractoring along
Bouncing up atop the straw
And hay, a sleigh
San Marzano red
Knead the dough
And bake the bread
And wait, we'll wait
Climb on
Go

Pear to Bear
02:03
|

|
Winding water through wheat and clay
A lonely pear to bear all the weight
Moon beams and autumn leaves that sway
Cool shades in vineyard breeze
The vineyard keeps the calm in me

Big Sur

A summer spent watching out of my head
Three silver nails in a blue field
I comb my hair to keep a calm
The lattice is only the manner of forming
Getting on to breathing, nice and easy
We all try hard to care
On that holy coast we'll ride above the sea
Breathe out on me, Shoals from the sand
Breathe out on me, Whole in the wind
I found it there as the miles rolled
It was waiting for me ahead
A plot of earth down a redwood road
Where I'll learn how to wear my head
It's waiting there and it's all I'll own
Just a corner to rest again
A plot of earth and a shady grove
And I'll know how to wear my head
