Even when it won't stop

A tree told me: no shortcuts. As I sat in its shade.
The morning breeze was soft but steady.
Gently blowing the leaves. Tickling the back of my neck.
A tree told me not to fear. As its branches stretched towards the sky.
As a magpie built a nest and I thought: how perfect a place! Like it couldn’t be anywhere else.
A tree told me: the world will wait for you, even when it won’t stop.
As its shade dissolved into the night.

Not scared of not coming back. Letting go of all the reasons why and why not.
Not scared of never again. Not returning, we’re looking ahead. Why not?
Lay your head on the mat. Close your eyes. Let the world go black.
Lay your heart on the grass. It’s ok to not know where you are.
Because we’re not scared of not coming back.
We’re not scared of not coming back.

We’re lifted into the morning. Carried away by nite. Taking flight as the ocean stretches beneath us.
Let the rain just pour in. One day it will stop. To really be dry first you must know wetness.
The angels drove me home last nite. All I remember is a blur of tarmac, light and gum trees. When I pulled into the driveway I fell asleep in my seat and woke up in the morning with the car still running and sun on my face.
I was awake from the moment they found me. The glow of the moonlight and stars surrounding. And I felt the highway stretching.
I was alive though I didn’t feel it. I was surprised though I didn’t know it.

All I have today is the clear light of the rising sun.
All I have to do is sit and wait for it to come.
And when it does I know I’ll be warm enough.
When it does.

I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what.
I was only wondering; do birds dream of walking? Or do they not?
And as the clouds go swimming through the sky, my wheels keep into spinning into night.
We’re hiding in our tunnels. We’re sleeping on the job. I was only bludging.
Dylan said I’m something. Or did he say I’m not?
And as the stars keep spinning in my head, I know the moon heard everything we said. I said a lot but I’d say it all again.
I said a lot but I’d say it all again.
I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what. I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what.
She told me something, didn’t need to say a lot.
I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what.

It goes away

It goes away but it always comes back. The shadow of a wave rolls in like the night.
But it goes away like everything else. You want to save everyone. Well, look after yourself.
It goes away like the wind blows a light. But you are not a candle. You don’t have to burn all night.
It shows the way but it can turn you blind. The shadow of a wave is always looming.
It’s never far behind. Like sunrise on a Long Nite.
I stood on the shore and saw someone I’d lost. We walked into the water.
I wasn’t scared anymore, as we dove under the shorebreak and out past the sandbank.
Out where the sharks roam. Felt like coming home. He said he’s going away.
But he’ll be back one day. And never far away.
It goes away. Take a look around.
The shadow of a wave never hits the ground.

Slowly I ride

Just through the trees I see the sun falling. The wind has died.
Slowly I ride as gently the rain falls, softly on my head.
So, tell me again now that the street is quiet. Now that there is no choice.
Help me accept the puddles and the oceans, too. The sun (skun?) and the sky – so blue!
Tell me you’re there. Now I need you to be. As the darkness is swallowing.
Follow me through the trees. If you believe, I believe it, too. Do you believe in me?
Can I tell you everything? I’m only right when I’m right by you. And you can light any room.
I hear streams trickling. I felt a bird and it flew just like you. I believe in anything. I believe in everything.
I believe in anything. I believe in everything. You are everything.
Just through the trees. I see your face sinking. Slowly I ride.

A reminder

A reminder. A timely one. Through the sunlight. It unravels.
At the right time. Say the wrong thing. Be kind to who you are.
Through the darkness. As the rain falls. Unravel. Towards love.
Before it’s sad. And even if you are.
In the distance. In a golden lake. We are swimming. We are laughing.
Not trying. Just happened to be here. It just happened.
Reminded. As the rain stops. And you’re dripping.
At the right time. In the sunlight. Reminded.
