Beautiful Mountain

You wear a purple coat
Make shadows on the snow
Kiss a cloud with wild abandon
Crocuses grow through your skin
Bracing for the dream that plays all night
Your mouth is open wide
And words are flowing out
Flying through the air tonight—
All your tygers burning bright
Seeping to the roots
That grow through strife
Beautiful Mountain—
There is no doubt about it
You’re aglow
Mountain, you’re so fine
You wear a blue-green dress
And ride the surface crest
Silhouetted figure through—
The gauzy fabric draping you
Beckoning the dream that cascades by
Your eyes are open wide
And visions bubble out
Swimming through the waves tonight
Salty-sweet and full of might
Sing Amazing Grace inside of your mind
Beautiful Ocean—
There is no doubt about it
You’re aglow
Ocean, you’re so fine
All the little voices
In your head they say
Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude
Man, I’m coming home
Even if I don’t know the road
Even if I’m out in the cold
Maybe lost
Or maybe not yet found
I belong—
Within this song
Oh, how many times will you walk this
Path before you leave a rut
Lately taken on a whim
And how many times will you play this
Dream before it draws to an end
Painterly

I skate in the morning
When the wind blows through the dell
Again in the evening
When the Moon glows high
A Blue Heron in the sky
Wonder where it goes
Prehistoric majesty—
A pleasure to behold
Cheeks are rosy from the cold
Heart is full and pure
I might have stayed here all day long
But I had to go to work

World, how did you miss these
Words from a mountaintop
Whispered on the breeze
Spoke of our eventual
Induction to the Hall of Souls
How became the end of us—
Answers would appease
What befell Atlantis—
What clues did it leave
Will our words betray us
All I said was—
All I meant was—
All I once was—
World, how did you miss these
Words from a parking lot
Spoken to the trees
Written on our skin—
As water laps our knees
Play with the mythology
What answer will it weave
What will become of this
How will it be
Will our words outstay us
All I said was—
All I meant was—
All I once was—

Morning, late February
Slanted sunlight throws
Shadows on snow
Evening constellations
All the gifts bestowed
Sealed with a bow
Do I see these tiny lights aglow
The same as you once did
All those years ago
I have been orbiting the lot of you
Ooh gravitation—
The pull is so strong
So set this seed in a sunny window
Mmm watch it grow—
And in good time
Breathless
