lyrics

SUNDAY PRAYER, xviii

Time & time again,
success is not being afraid to bail.
Forever homeful poet snail,
a foot in heaven, one in jail.
Gladly, I let go of the rail.
Gladly, I razor free the sail.
Gladly, I drive my truest nail,
like it is water into the pail. I am, I am.

Time & time again,
when hope at last abandons post,
when we miss to death our folks,
when we need them near the most,
make believe they are inside us,
from our hearts they gently guide us.
When you see a rainbow score the sky,
maybe it's mom just saying hi. I am, I am, I am.

But you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine.
Dusk to a moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am, I am.

DAS - Washington, D.C., USA
