The carriage pulls up Before the noise It stirs the dust Over bare feet Moves the forest to shimmer The light's tallness Lording over Holding its gaze to the brush Leave it be Says the weaver of need Will you be true as fate bleeds Will you unwind the clocks Dismantle their ticktock's Strike the drum, Pray the sun Return to me The loving sea I return my waves to you I return the water Says the sea I set it free Rolling in false promises The scepter shines like ivory The fire's risen Not before the water Or before Me We will douse its flames Fire for fire Says the sea and Me We'll set it free The carriage pulls up Before the noise It stirs the dust Over bare feet © 2016 Mark Richard Prime
