about

First of a sequence of tracks relating to the cycle of four elements

lyrics

imagined supersonic applause rumbles heavenward
while through this airy elemental auditorium
the simple, brilliant elegance of feathered flight
is cast aside by an egotistical squadron

these disconnected dragon-souls
beam destruction down upon distant worker-ants
wreaking collateral damage and thermonuclear deceit

sealed away from the roaring of winds
the pilots of convenience overshoot the lonely albatross
but force their passengers to swallow caged air
full of stale words in a global bacteria zoo
rebounding fields of electrotext cause popping in
the invisible parts of our time-trimmed ears

somewhere the locusts fly
capricious hurricanes tear at paper roofs
unseen bellows fan the forest fires
earth’s breath belches topsoil-stripping tornadoes
in a wild countdown till the oxygen burns
and the high drones of technology
confuse the bees and scatterflies

air-creatures delicately searching
midst the subtle pollen radiance
spreading seed-wisdom wide
alongside the birds and squalls

and we who tune our inner aerials know that we too
are an illusion
an awesome intention
almost entirely space

we take in the gusts right to our guts
we feel our body-glove that glows unseen
we stretch beyond our eyries for the fingertip visions
we seek the naked freshness
of rustling tree and hilltop flutter

whistling gliding symphonies over busy breezes
carrying afar the giggles of children and soprano stomps
and the soft strumming plucking siren songs of
an orchestra of emotion open to naturally coloured freedom

the greater breath blows its chorus
the feathered cloud-herds float in eloquence
and somehow peace is proclaimed
through all the multiple domains
where the feisty fruity flutes of dawn do reign

and our ancient galactic angel’s arrows
soar serenely in all directions
towards home
