Song For M This Morning

I’ve opened my eyes to uncertain skies
I know you have as well
And try as we may and try as we must
To hold to each other and the One that we trust
In time my angel the iron will rust
And the vines will creep over the bell

Oh, but the thing that you always did bring
That I came to love about you
You are the harlequin you are the clown
Make portraits of everyone wearing your crown
Fight all your battles with a pillow of down
Dreaming of paradise true

But it is what it is as they say in the biz
And things for a reason come round
The bravest scaredy cat God ever made
Was cornered by time between shadow and shade
So she featured herself freed of Macy’s parade
And floated past season and sound

Chorus:

It’s one more day
That begins when I say
There she is, good morning my love
And it really can’t start
My day or my heart
Until I say good morning my love

An Explanation?

On its face at first blush
It’s just crazy enough
If it were a lark it would fly

To be howling within
Round a ravenous sin
While the face is a whitewashed lie

*

On its face at first blush
You might not feel its touch
At its core it just tastes with your eye

Then it’s more real to you
Than the spike through your shoe
Each betwinkling roll of the die

*

On its face at first blush
The World is concussed
In the dark staggering blind

It followed a scent
Down the alley it went
And met what it had in Mind
