Ever Present

Surrounded by

I can feel you
I can feel you

Open air
A whisper sent from the deep
And wrapped around me
So carefully

Far from here
A three thousand mile leap
Border to border
Tread easily

Wilt and wear
Ringed ages cascade beneath
Storied the edges
They climb and they reach

Bowed and bare
Trade cover renew replete
Corner to corner
Rest peacefully

Slow repair
Connected and kept between
Over the order
Strength from the weak

Tall they stare
Cast shadow and home would we
Under the branches
All held pristine

Can feel you
Can hear you
I'm drawn to
The ancient and wild deep

Surrounded by warmth of your breath
Over moss covered lungs we run
On stone under sun
Decay lasting one
Storied past that you’ve sung
I believe in you

An evergreen marionette in your grip
When you sway pull my string I'm hung
And captive it seems 

Entranced by the weaves
That you spin as you breathe

The spell of your song

Cast over the quiet of canopied leaves

To your depth I’ve been drawn undone
Cool path amble on
Along river run

Here to stay now it’s done

I belong with you

Now here we are, lifted above the new school 

Carry on by the rain and sun

Give life to what’s gone
Old ancient the call

In your veins and the fall

New life one become

All become
All become
