Lyrics
I wish I was a ring of water
soft frozen 'round the moon
a rainbow dark
and wildly spun
across night's antiphonic tunes.
I wish I was a gnarled old oak
slowly reeling in the years
a life marked by
rhythm?s and rings
few see, and no-one hears.
I wish I was a rain storm
agrowl in a distant sky
dashing cold and stark
grey rain
across the mountains? sides.
I wish I were a colony
of roiling, ribald ants
on forest floors en masse
in search
of the next night?s bivouac.
I wish I were an avalanche
of crushing powdered white
in flurry falling, gut
rock thundering
from corniced crowns of untold heights.
I wish my mind were crystal
tempered finer than diamonds ice,
and tuned perfectly to
the resonance of
instinctive insect flight;
then some summer evening falling to
a thousand mosquitoes wings
it might spring brightly into a
million silver
slivered, shattered things
into the dark?s long spiralling sent
to chase the light
