Of Dream and Stone

from Moonlit Missive #91: 'Of Dream and Stone' by In Gowan Ring

Moonlit Missives exclusive

lyrics

Where will you go to—and in what abode,
Ply hand to harness with enquiry’s load?
On the parchment of life I have written the names
Of all the things I would like to explain:
Why the grass is green
How water gathers in streams
Why the waves break on the sand
How the sun chases the moon over he land


So a year passes with ears held to hear
Is one to live only by their hope and their fear?
While the hand of the drunkard
Pours the cup for another
Bent to the light of the giver’s river
And the grass is green
Water gathers in streams
The Waves break on the sand
The Sun chases the Moon over the land

Buoyant in sunlight, star structures all
Lift upward and outward, the great and small
All of the creatures soak up the sun
Abide in the features of dream and of stone
And the grass is green
Water gathers in streams
Waves break on the sand
The sun chases the moon over the land
