Listen to Ballpark by Richard Charles Stevens (Feathered Suite)

Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr
.
Within which teased one feather of forever
.
Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr

While I may have changed
I remain the same way
Still take aim the same way
Though with no intent to maim
For I made my nature plain way back
Before I got snagged in a trap
Implored not to be bagged and tagged
Was all but done for
That was that
Made a run for some place safe
To take stock while I stopped the clock
And not a lot arose to show such hopelessness as chosen lot
Frozen to the spot so long
My hopeful heart fell open
Tears were welling
Fears compelling
Years repenting
Clearly venting
Nearly spent and yet well ventured
Blew a kiss at misadventure
Knew that this had been my ledge
And hedged a bet I’d found its centre
.
Hedged a bet I’d found its centre

Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr
Within which teased one feather of forever
.
Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr
(Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr)
Within which teased one feather of forever
(Within which teased one feather of forever)
.
Felt appeased to be the me released back from captivity
Actively enraptured in more aspirant activity
Imminently set to leap
Requested senses then took leave
Stress and tension left the scene
While best intentions led proceed
With zest and keen
Redressed a theme
Before now seen as questionable
And righted every wrong believed correctable
.
Way less cruel
The fate awaiting
Basis for exhilarating
Illustrating pathway through the maze my heart facilitated
.
Smile lines for my troubles
Huddled round and found a gown for every frown that I’d thrown down
For I now owned the here and now
Clearly spent of years repenting
Blew a kiss at misadventure
Clearly spent of years repenting
Blew a kiss at misadventure
.
Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr
Within which eased one feather of forever
.
Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr

There is such beauty in this world
All about me
In every corner nook and cranny of my mind
And then so many more besides
I find a feather that forever left behind me
I find a feather that forever left behind me
.
There is such beauty in this world

I find a feather that forever left behind me
Forever left behind me
Forever left behind me

I find a feather that forever left behind me
Forever left behind me

The faintest lights need not recede
Should we proceed of caution free
Learn to be the fallen tree
That redefined enormously
The flawless scene before it strewn
Through sprawl of leaves in steeped lagoon
Seen gorgeously from peak to root
To illustrate more scenic route
.
Yesterday’s escapades some way behind
Nevertheless conveyed true through wide eyes
Bled with great resonate
Tears of the blind
Shed then to elevate
Fearless reprise
Echoes perpetuate
Peerless free flight
Unknown of hesitate
Outgrown confine
.
Outgrown confine

Leant into the breeze to reach the zephyr
Within which eased one feather of forever
