Celebration of life

Celebration of life
Is that what we talked about, Is that where it all began
There was a fair, fireworks and rides
In the middle of a desert rose a tide
We all danced to the tunes from arrows and spears
It was a place of its own kind
There were dancers performing on the roads
Making people stand on their toes
The sun is about to set, there are wolves howling out aloud
Let’s celebrate this part of the show
 it’s just about to end


have you walked up to  a high peak and looked down,
that is where you came from and that is where you will go back
but rejoice
celebrate the moment
and surrender to the harmony of the winds

do you sit down and listen to crickets on lonely  nights
do you know who they are, do they belong to the upper tribe
can you ask them for me, how do they celebrate life
is it like here with fairs and dances and beer
does it look the same, does it feel the same
if they say yes, tell them to go back and stand tight
they can steal all the booty , but the beast is mine

there is birth of an angel in that house down the lane
I know them, they are good beings
There are cries of sweetness and bliss, the baby is welcomed with happiness
I went to see her too, I saw her and I saw her eyes
I looked into them, they were deep blue like a dangerous ocean
They were anchored in one emotion, one motion all day
Finding, waking, straining, staring, hope, love, need, cry
Feel, touch, hold, die, but don’t dry
Did you see all this in one look just the way I did
Did you hold her hand and welcome her

There are serpents outside with white turbans and mud loathed clothes
They were knocking on the doors, they wanted to take her away
But don’t worry kid

you will be warm again,
you will come back and stand here again
you will face the storm again,
you will be born again
