i should have risen early
when the sunlight blessed the water
when the clouds were driven westward
on a breezy blue sky morn
i should have seen the willows
on the crowded banks a swaying
while the geese and ducks were dozing
in the river’s flow at dawn
i was oh so far away though
i was floating in the heavens
i was chasing silver moonbeams
i was dancing with the spirits
i was ageless newly born
i saw the comet soaring
through the darkened night time velvet
i was mesmerized by brightness
with a feeling i was weightless
while the clock had long stopped ticking
there was nothing i was missing
there was nothing i was yearning
there is nothing here to mourn
