Dew bespangled dawn you see
the stirring of a soul
nights and days
you then embrace the wonder
Seasons of a life to be
you weave another role
once again to trace
those places yonder
This moment is there to see
there to own
(and what I am is
here and there to carry me
and now and then to let me be
without a lie)
Carrying me
over my grown-up
senses
(and open eyes that let me spy
the where and when and what and why
that matter)
But time is so hard to catch
hard to hold
(and while the
here and there may coincide
to form a shroud of time to hide
it in a lie)
When dawns all hatch
caught in her old
shackles and fences
(how can time pretend to be
as real as life when all I see
are mirrors that shatter)
Gingerly the lips collide
the honey of the tongue
melts to form a glow
a rush, a river
Love's forever rising tide
now innocent and young
surging in a slowly
mounting quiver
Ah, this moment's so sweet to touch
sweet to feel
(and what I am is
here and there to carry me
and now and then to let me be
without a lie)
Harboring such
gently surreal
pleasure
(and open eyes that let me spy
the where and when and what and why
that matter)
But time is so hard to catch
hard to hold
(and while the
here and there may coincide
to form a shroud of time to hide
it in a lie)
When dreams all hatch
awed by her old
mythical treasure
(how can time pretend to be
as real as life when all I see
are mirrors that shatter)
I know forever's just
a heart beat away
a seed of time
we call tomorrow
to hold the memories
she gathers today
in her hallowed sorrow
but, please let me rest for a while
here in the arms of her
youthful smile
Please let me drown for a while
here in the sea of her
sacred smile
Sanguineous, the rising head
enchanted to the core
races for a pain
unsought, unchosen
Passions gasp and cry instead
of laughing like before
wasted, bleeding, slain
forgotten, frozen
This moment is hard to find
hard to view
(and what I am is
here and there to carry me
and now and then to let me be
without a lie)
A warm and blind
and lost and untrue
dawning
(and open eyes that let me spy
the where and when and what and why
that matter)
But time is so hard to catch
hard to hold
(and while the
here and there may coincide
to form a shroud of time to hide
it in a lie)
When lives all hatch
true to her old
unceasing spawning
(how can time pretend to be
as real as life when all I see
are mirrors that shatter)
Forms and faces then recede
and tremble into white
truth erupts the boy
to clearly seeing
Lies and doubts and pain concede
and rush into the light
drowning in his joy
of merely being
Of moments there's none as true
none as mine
(and what I am is
here and there to carry me
and now and then to let me be
without a lie)
A timeless view
of true and divine
reason
(and open eyes that let me spy
the where and when and what and why
that matter)
But time is so hard to catch
hard to hold
(and while the
here and there may coincide
to form a shroud of time to hide
it in a lie)
As moments hatch
bowed to her old
glorious treason
(how can time pretend to be
as real as life when all I see
are mirrors that shatter)
I know forever's just
a heart beat away
a seed of time
we call tomorrow
to hold the memories
she gathers today
in her hallowed sorrow
but, please let me dream for a while
here in the night of her
mournful smile
Please let me sing for a while
sharing the breath of her
fading smile
Charon took his little boat to sea
and laughed and drowned and set us free
and so there is no time
never was
Wraiths ascend a spectral store
of silence as they cry for more
and because there is no time
never was
Sirens blare a war anew
and Death regains a point of view
although there is no time
never was
The King of Jews, the Lord of Light
the Buddha laughs beyond the night
for indeed there is no time
never was
Poets die and then agree
and writers seek a truth to be
and still there is no time
there never was
Mozart, Bach and you conceive
a truth you never could believe
that but for you there is no time
never was
For while you look you see a space
and then its gone without a trace
and so there is no time
oh, there never was
A simple answer wide and true:
these aeons all converge in you
and where you are there is no time
there never was
