about

A heartfelt feeling is worth a thousand words: This poem, leaking from the part of my heart believing in soul mates, starts to scratch the surface of such a feeling. It combines references to elusive ideas, such as fate, infinity, timelessness, synchronicity, interconnectedness, yada yada Yoda. And then a melody took form.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Always inevitably I’d return,
subtly drift unawares back to blankets of fern
that so softly breath life and whisper ancient hymns,
that distill and surround us and rise through the limbs
before circling back to collapse at our core
as the branches return to the velvet moss floor,
but now here in the day, reached and touched this in your
stagg’ring presence that strips me down, sweeps me ashore

Well always he’s been here, before we had shapes,
before Genesis begat all time and all space,
but in my waking life I had not seen a trace of
archaic remembrance till I saw your face
No longer my roots and my waking life rift
the fog of a world made of apathy lifts
as I’m startled awake by my purest vibration
at last taken shape in earthly incarnation

To see you among my external surroundings,
a silver is lining and winding around things
The first time the inner and outer, reflecting
A relic forgotten inside resurrecting,
revived now and spreading a full-colored grace
that erases the cloudy film muting this place
You’re painting in love all the worldly surroundings
and silver is lining and winding around things

Been long since the world through my ears wasn’t muffled,
the dusty streets stifling my breath as I shuffled
Eyelids once drooping flung open to see
as your voice aligns time and my senses with me
All the infinite origin shining through matter
released as the gates to my recesses shatter

so Be this for me, be this with me and fall
as if there’s any magic in this world at all
