20171114 - Timing

from The Song Diary II by Paleo

/

lyrics

We saw the lightning
in white ink gravely wrote.
We heard the thunder
catch in its silver throat.
And behind me I drew death.
And in my present the world upside-down.
And ahead of me the hermaphrodite angel
at whose feet lay countless crowns.

Timing is everything.
The ritual of the wind in the web of the wing.
Timing is the ribbon on the gift love brings.
Timing is everything.

Whoever made me
strung me together with a wire
made of time, the tether,
the mute town-crier.
I was a scavenger
searching for a scrap of an instant,
but when the time came and the chimes tolled,
I would never listen.

Timing is everything.
The ritual of the wind in the web of the wing.
Timing is the ribbon on the gift love brings.
Timing is everything.
