Again, it sounds.
In the distance, the Captain' s horn.
And nothing drowns; his dogs are close behind.
The urgent plea to sit down - sit down
My side is burning strong.
My eyes are almost blind.
Why? The air hangs heavy on this river road.
To see a humming bird; thick with life all around.
at rest for once.
As mine flows out and chills my bones and soaks the very ground.
Why?
To watch the patient
egret, rightly stalk,
legs bent, then down; upon her prey.
Why? When can I stop and be still?
For the joy of life
The Captain drives me on.
so relentless of sound, his crazy;... crazy hounds, are at my heal
when the warmth of sunlight is all around
My Lord, have you forgotten?
Will I loose my faith?.. on this, Red Road ?
Be still and know,
we are infinitely
informed with timeliness.
While the end of time, as we
know it, draws ever near;
And souls at rest begin
to walk a path less clear.
