kurt elling - gratitude (for robert bly) كلمات الأغنية

just as sunlight casts a shadow / the first shade of another day
interrupted in his sleep / still in half a dream
nettled into awaking / wishing light away
drinking his cup of coffee / puzzling what he wants to say

the evening before he’d tried to tell it
he’d showed off all his ecstatic truths
… and wine had encouraged his bray
he’d gone to bed / long before the point was proved
and risen / deep in the night / to walk
to wander under stars / and time and again
he’d wished then / that his children had come walking with hm
to wonder at stars / until they grew dim
sharing the thoughts that spin him / like b_tterflies trapped within him

and so he thinks himself unlucky / this someone who has eyes to see
who finds stars when wanting stars / who can sing the moon
someone whose feet get sandy / in the hidden dunes
someone who knows the ocean / who knows what he has to do

he still thinks his mind is full of tangles
whose mind to him just a mangle is
… and who thinks his poems a mess
even though he tells the truth / long before the point is proved
and rises / deep in the night / to write
to wander until light / and fly words like kites
whose children / share their father’s inner intuition
to sing to the moon / i think maybe soon
somebody ought to tell him / maybe we ought to tell him
something he ought to know
something his poems show
