lyrics

We are born with the dawn
Imprints of the morning
We are dreaming
We wake from sleep
We arrive back in bed and peace
We are kept unfurling
Every dissatisfied moment
We are domes like the Earth
Charging forwards
Through the Universe
Spinning at speeds, everything that we need
Grinning like seeds in the garden of weeds
The sheer prospect!
The shining prospect!
The possibilities
My knees bend
The destiny
Un-crack my bones and my body's alive
Water splash in the new dawn alive
Dripping wet
As we mean to go on
Creative juices help me sing my song
I am a Muslim, I come from a line
Soul dangle on the very edge of the string
The latest edition
The new model I'm modeling
The greatest of missions to be awake and be following
The greatest of visions to be subservient
My ego is still asleep
A stupid and a lazy old mule
My palms face my face
There are clouds therein
Stars on my fingertips
The last of the stars
Half-Sky Light
Still-Silences-Everywhere
Seagulls start in their hundreds down there
By the beach where the ocean waves
Spray some old man sittin' on the pebbles
Salt-lick
Lick my lips
.Smile.
Lovely level
.I could die.
