wake at the first crack of sun
call the crows and cranes
sip the whiskey
pour the earl gray
paint me with your words
balm to those who chase the line
between
the thunder and the rain
damn these feathers and wind
damn the morning light!
lifting me away
contentment tucked against cerulean slumber
dreams and dancing to the scent
of bonfires
and love
piercing sweet temperance hollowed
as this storm reaches the river
just as cranes
land to water and grassland wine
innocence disguised as complacency
in a rising time, waking line
separations torment
come back thru the lightening
come back thru the gathering storm
clouds black rolling east
lifting me away
wake at the first crack of sun
calling to cranes and crows
of a morning parting
from the slumbered
knowing
lift me away
call the crows and cranes
sip the whiskey
pour the earl gray
paint me with your words
balm to those who chase the line
between
the thunder and the rain
damn these feathers and wind
damn the morning light!
lifting me away
contentment tucked against cerulean slumber
dreams and dancing to the scent
of bonfires
and love
piercing sweet temperance hollowed
as this storm reaches the river
just as cranes
land to water and grassland wine
innocence disguised as complacency
in a rising time, waking line
separations torment
come back thru the lightening
come back thru the gathering storm
clouds black rolling east
lifting me away
wake at the first crack of sun
calling to cranes and crows
of a morning parting
from the slumbered
knowing
lift me away
