Be


"Be"

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him

If you may find him
There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches
for a word
Which speaks
on a theme
that is timeless
While the Sun God
will make for your day

Sing
As a song in search
of a voice
that is silent
And the one
God will make
for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard
by the soul
Undertook
by the heart
And you may know if
If you may know it

While the sand
Would become
the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that
aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is
timeless
While the Sun God
will make for your
day

Sing
As a song in search
of a voice that is
silent
And the one God
will make
for your way.

Neil Diamond

This is my favorite song from "Johnathan Livingston Seagull" and I have the tape sitting right here next to me. I've been playing it this past week (when I've had electricity, that is. We lost electricity again today for hours. SPF!) I love what you're doing with your blog, Glenn...:)
