Lake Song/New Ceremonial Music For Moms - Akron/Family

You stand so far away

lake’s in the distance

top of bales of hay

breeze dream clouds thick and white

kite, wind against the bow

No matter how far we sail.

Bees, leaves, hives go fly with flies

in and out, petals and stems

stitches and hems, us’s and thems.

Collected by friends, and spread amongst the then,

while others seem to pretend that make believe

is when image left with men is painted with a pen,

and time’s left to Big Ben.

Hold back your thought,

among silence rhythms are taught,

the end of the line, a trout you have caught,

flipping and sticking to bits of hay,

slipping in skin, reflecting the day,

it’s only a picture, there’s not much to say.
