Anne Clark Seize The Vivid Sky
Out - Into the coming on of night Out - into a fiery failing light The day is almost done Earth spreads I stretch Two lines set against the slipping sun And I seize the vivid sky Paint bright colours with the spectrum of my eye Take in every breath deep enough to fly Away from lies these changes have forced into our lives Up into a tranquil place that's constantly denied Far from the crushing power which brought me to my knees Earthbound, justice stays always out of reach Disobey Defy Take your own time Fly Out - where hours unfirl, loosen from our hands Out - where time is only shadows cast across the land The day is almost done Earth spreads I stretch Two lines set against the slipping sun And I'll make my way to where the warm scent of soil fills the evening air Everything is waiting quietly out there ...
