cool spiraling colors
in the mountains of the moon
your voice erupts in song
in the trenches of the sea
a dog is running
in my dreams
a small brown dog
who has no name
its haunts me there
we play no games
in the valleys of the glacier
in the burrows of the mind
come running
come running to me
well meet the barrow wights
well hold hearts
no fights
well fly to every distant place
so far
so far well be
buried under ground
or burnt in the ashes
of a ring of Hawthorne leaves
Godcheaux will play a tune
on the organ for your funeral
a ladyfinger writing what for
and saying no answer
to the lights of a tree
in summer
bicycling animal lights
dancing thru the branches
celebrating life
make a way for me my friend
to the circus i go again
laughing at all the faces
making no mention of the scene
hiding in my own dreams
with that dog i always see
he sees me too
i know not what he thinks
but tells me
in his eyes to love you all forever
to make my life a loop
and howl within its glowing circle
and hold you close to me
you are my friend you see
your eyes can make an arrow
to the center of your mind
and we can dream forever
in a beam of pure sunshine
or crawl into silent bed downs
in the mountains of the moon
or share a drink forever
in the trenches of the sea
the earth will see you thru
this land will not be here to
hold you
but her spirit has a million hands
to help you on your way
to hold you when your lonely
to set you free
in the darkness
to be wild and free
to be with me
always moving foreward
the cold the hot the falling leaves
january makes us close
june will make you naked
and lay by the river
where we rest to smell the
moving waters and falling leaves
august is a killer
september you become a feather
in a cozy sweater
that we can wear together
my friend
well sit on our parkbench
like bookends
and fade into the dusklight
going down with the sun
all the while
looking for december
and the festivals and lights
and ending of the year
well be here
holding hearts
holding hands
making more plans
to go into darkness together
i need you near me my friend
forever in the mountains of the moon
forever in the trenches of the sea
