Waking Hours Lyrics by Meraki/Toska

Blue Jay

2013

It's in these waking hours, when the mind is caught between the realms where my dreams have been haunted by the blue bird and that same poem speaks to me in volumes unimaginable:
How surely gravity's law
Strong as an ocean current
Takes hold of the smallest thing
And pulls it toward the heart of the world
Each thing---
Each stone, blossom, child---
Is held in place
Only we, in our arrogance
Push out beyond what we each belong to
For some empty freedom
If we surrendered
To earth's intelligence
We could rise up rooted, like trees
Instead we entangle ourselves
In knots of our own making
And struggle, lonely and confused
So like children, we begin again
To learn from the things
Because they are in God's heart;
They have never left him
This is what the things can teach us:
To fall
Patiently to trust our heaviness
Even a bird has to do that
Before he can fly
