A love song to the earth, and to all things of fragile beauty


 TO THE EARTH

©1994 JIM HARRIS


SUNRISE FOR MY FANTASY
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
CAME TO THE FLESH
CAME FUTURE FRESH
UPON MY WANDERING EYE
SOFT AND FRAGILE, WILD AND FREE
I FELL INTO HER GRAVITY
A BOTTOM DWELLER
FORTUNE TELLER
IN A SEA OF SKY
DREAMING I COULD FLY

AND THE WORLD WAS UNFURLED
IN HER SEASONS
EVERY FACE HAD A PLACE
IN THE SUN
EVERY RARE LOVE AFFAIR
HAD ITS REASONS
THOUGH ITS BEAUTY BE FOUND
ON THE SHAKIEST GROUND

SPIN AND SPARKLE, YAWN AND YEARN
REJOICE AND BLEED AT EVERY TURN
MY MOMENTARY
SANCTUARY
HOME AWAY FROM HOME
CAUGHT BETWEEN THE COLD AND HOT
WE HOVER IN THIS PERFECT SPOT
IN DARK AND LOOMING
BRIGHT AND BLOOMING
DANCE AROUND THE FLAME
NEVER TWICE THE SAME

AND THE WORLD IS UNFURLED
IN HER SEASONS
GIVE AND TAKE, SLEEP AND WAKE
LIVE AND DIE
EVERY RARE LOVE AFFAIR
HAS ITS REASONS
THOUGH ITS BEAUTY BE FOUND
ON THE SHAKIEST GROUND
IT CAN STAND ON ITS OWN
SPECIAL WORTH
TO THE SEA
TO THE SKY
TO THE EARTH
