This is a story |
|
That happened long ago |
|
I never thought love would ever find me |
|
Only infernal pain and woe |
|
Weeping and wailing |
|
"Saw gold and could not drink" (from "Season In Hell", Rimbaud) |
|
Somnambulance eased the sea of questions |
|
A sea of trouble brings and then |
|
|
|
The breeze whispered your name |
|
Long enough to hear it |
|
Trees whispered the same |
|
What I must do is follow you |
|
|
|
Into the water and all the way to sea |
|
Little fishes and eels and frogs dive after |
|
So careless and so free |
|
Must I abide now |
|
Against the glassy stream |
|
To wake or to sleep, remain forever |
|
The strangest lily seen |
|
|
|
And then the breeze whispered your name |
|
Long enough to hear it |
|
Trees whispered the same |
|
What I must do is follow you |
