creatures

creatures in the night

they’re crawling

carving all their names out in the bark

fire on the beach

they’re falling

deeper and deeper to the flame

supple little limbs

they’re foreign

glide on the water like its ice

rising on the tide

we pour in

no walls can hold us back tonight

saw the rain come dancing on the lake

why wait

old man tomorrow’s not your home

your home

leave your pennies on the well white stone

see them glow

this moment is the only thing you know

you know

somewhere in the field

he watches

lion leaves his tracks out in the mud

tiger on the run

you’re lying

don’t you see this jungle in my eyes

stumble little fly

quit diving

don’t you know that the light rides through your veins

phoenix on the rise

it’s time

fly all the fire in your heart

saw the rain come dancing on the lake

why wait

old man tomorrow’s not your home

your home

leave your pennies on the well white stone

see them glow

this moment is the only thing you know

you know
