Songs of the Living Lyrics by Lea Thomas

Blue of Distance

2019

The deer don't lie
I have watched them in the morning light
Dappled neath the beech and ash and maple
Crossing over a river a swollen
With the remnants of a long last winter night
They lift their heads up
To a cloudless sky
To say a storm is coming in
Though it's still miles and miles and miles from here
You've got to trust your intuition
Just to stay alive
I see blue
On the horizon
I fear not my undoing
On the horizon
I fear not my undoing
When the woods get quiet
It is not silent
Subtle is the choir of the mystic-
The songs of the living
And dying
I did not makе my way out to this mountain-
Howling
Begging for a sign-
For I knew I would not find it
With the еyes of a skeptic
No, not with the eyes of a skeptic
Will I see blue on the horizon
And fear not my undoing
On the horizon
I fear not my undoing
