I’M ONLY GLANCING

Written in October 2005

My fingers glide across the strings
Like a swan tracing ripples on a pond
My words echoing off the parting clouds
Can’t you see it?
The light is breaking through
And I can see I can feel
A beauty that is finally real

My mind is clear like a concert hall
Empty at the breaking of the day
The spark survived
The silence may it rise
Can’t you hear it?
Forgotten voice that sings
And I can see I can feel
This long forsaken ideal

And I am dancing
Won’t you take my hand
I’m only glancing
At a world that I will never understand

Your tears will fall like the rain
On a dry, dusty summer’s day
The rain it must persist
Can’t you feel it?
Spirit solacing
And as we fall we will fly
This world will never pass us by
