Night Dreamer Lyrics
Lonely the roses of Avondaire sing as though somebody still may care.
They live only for the dream of living so come follow where they will take
you there.
I once was apprenticed to a man who was living
in
the eye if the hurricane to know despair,
He knew all the dreams
by heart just like sailing in a boat of
crystal silence seeing visions
of the world of life within a life.
In a turning like a burning
came turning
out of everything stirring and what had begun before
but all wrapped up in one great godly becoming -
Tumbling and fumbling and stumbling
into bumbling and rumbling
along -
whirling it and swirling it and twirling it and hurling
it
and overturning it and burning it again.
I shared a
whirling dervish out on the side of a hill called metaphore vivace
swinging en route to a nascent solar with the scissored visored blizzard
wizard
gizzarding planets and secrets within like an avatar.
While meanwhile in turnstyling and spinning over him
spells
bespeaking kingdoms in the dark
calling me to yield knighting me
in a field covered with armies
and with princes. All were signing
cannons shining pennants flying.
And when he spoke to me he sang
and his words really rang -
this child of the knowledge of the beauty of
the night -
he sang to me of masters passing on of father after
father after father
climbing up into the lotus bloom upon the tortoise's
back
and of grandfathers who danced through their living a longer
time ago.
He showed me a palace in time in which all the talismans
from all the zeuses swing upon a pendulum of secrets
in a circle that
remembers and when asked a question will surren
