If man is dust

those who go through the plain

Song




Song


Feathers in the air,
Feathers on the way,
Feathers through the sunshine
alien's body
Feathers around your angel skull,
Feathers in your dream,
in the heart of the grassland
Feathers in the thoughts of the landscape
Feathers in orange or blue,
Feathers across the road,
in the balloon seller's coat,
Feathers beyond you
and I

in the room of glass and perfumes,
Feathers in a twilight scream,
Feathers for the demon's rage,
Feathers in the returning saint's infinite power
Feathers through the
cozy breath of time
Feathers in your embrace of peace,
in the voice that sings
unseen,
Feathers through cyberspace,
Feathers for the hours you and I
remember the promises
of St. Dusk


and for the minutes we sip on tea
and shine.
Feathers for the ritual of light,
Feathers in the dance,
through the voyage in time,
in our hearts
towards the homes of love

Come shine eagle
Come see the light at your door.
