Windy Wake

This is a song I wrote last night. The melody and piano accompaniment came first, quite a rarity! Then I struggled to write the words. This is what I came up with. I'll try to make a video of the song today.

Windy wake
Bluest lake
Sing to me
Sleeplessly

Clear my eye
Circle sky
Empty bird
Worn-out word

Every dawn lights the same
It awakens the pain
And she unlocks the door
And she goes out to score

Then she sits down to play
Redemption is near
Requiem in the keys
All of life in her ear

Spinneret
Spider web
Nothingness
Nothing said

And she asks me to pray
Pulls me into her breast
I can hear her heart beat
And the blood makes me weak

But in my rancorous way
I fight off her caress
Pulling every loose thread
Left with angry nakedness

Afternoon
Almost gone
Ocean sigh
Overdrawn

And I’m hushing my son
Dammit let me write this song
And he sulks and he screams
Pay attention to me

Daddy’s slamming the door
And he’s revving the car
Careening out with the kids
While I write through the night

One more hour
Patient sun
Someday soon
Lullaby
