In favour of emergent trees
That twist the breeze and turn the leaves
Permissive of refurbished gleam
Our eyes wide open learn to dream
.
In favour of emergent trees
(In favour of emergent trees)
That twist the breeze and turn the leaves

Permissive of refurbished gleam

Our eyes wide open learn to dream

Close your eyes
Forget your name
The tears that stain
Your window pane
The fear that grips
Your brazen heart
The years of pain
That frame your art
.
Forgo the grief
Beneath the veil
And breathe belief
Into the mast
Set sail across
Uncharted seas
To Eden
Seen
At last
.
Release the burden
Certain to incur eclipse
And lift the curtain
Take a bow
Affix the crown
Attune your frown
To swift reversion
Close your eyes
Forget your place
For time and space elate diversion
Cater for all tastes and or perversions
Even when it feels that not a soul can see you hurting
Blindness unreservedly builds faith
.
Fall with grace
Through sprawl of maze
With ordinance of brave
Ride the stallion
Take the reins
And guide it to a native place
Pastures of ungated graze
Cascading light
Awaken shade
Revive an ancient serenade
Run naked through the everglades
.

Bleed when required
To appease the heaped pyre
In the heat of its fire
Smile politely
As lips become ashen
Impassion your stride
Ride the rapturous tides of what might be
Alight be the flame
In the shade of thine eyes
See this opulent blaze dine divinely
Ride the rapturous tides
Ride the rapturous tides
See this opulent blaze dine divinely

Slow heel to toe
In repose of even flow
Feel the sand between your toes
As you proceed
Caress each blessèd streamlet
Learn the sequence of the seas
For they only pose one secret left to keep
Wade deep
In shallow waters
As their course is keenly altered
To the hallowed halls of aeons in reprise
Take a box of crayons
Every shade and hue afforded
And go paint that lost Picasso in the skies
.
Release the burden
Certain to incur eclipse

Take a bow
Affix the crown

I’ve always loved this piece, it puts me back to the times when I was doing my own years long journey of self-discovery and how slowly but surely I began to overcome so much.
I hear it now from such a positive place as my crown certainly has been readjusted.
Love the section beginning:
“Close your eyes
Forget your name
The tears that stain
Your window pane…”
