Words 2009, music 2013

lyrics

Sun moving lets me see time going
Lights my days shows me my hands moving
There is such work to be done!

My time—ha, ha, ha, ha!
Such work—ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Straighten up—leave a mark
Save and save before the dark
Use your gifts—make them pay
You need these things for the next day

Choose a path and mark the boxes
On the way to happiness delayed

Light moving lets me feel air spilling
Shadows stretch and show me the other parts
There is no work that’s not done!

Air spilling—ha, ha, ha, ha!
No work—ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Golden air, dusty wings
Hunger headlong, growing things
Sneaking out, waiting long
Changing places, lazy strong

Does the tree remember when it made the choice
to move ahead and grow?
