rock island

well oh well
a rock island in the middle of a field
an island of it's own
deep and lazy lawn
to lay a lady dawn and I
can't deny the solid
structural expanding downward
into the earth and peer off
toward the hilltop of a line of distant trees
I'm on my knees and back
flat in the grass

a rock on a hillside
with a little bush
a bird is in it singing
the world is ever ringing
winding and afar
busy thoughts have wandered off
and bees are buzzing round and round
I feel the ground

a rock island in a grassy meadow
I walk there barefoot
in the sun
I walk through mud and stream
wash my feet
warm and sweet
a far off laughing child
easy running wild

a rock island in the middle of a field
an island of it's own
deep and lazy lawn
to lay a lady dawn





and outward

deep and lazy lawn
to lay a lady dawn

well oh well
a rock island in the middle of a field
busy thoughts have wandered off
and bees are buzzing round and round
I feel the ground
against the rigid rock
well oh well
a rock island in the middle of a field

a rock island in the middle of a field.
