Said Cat To A Phoenix

We are moving to a new day
We are rising from the brightest flame
Whose love never ends

And we all begin to walk lighter

On a path already laid by the sun
Around the rays of his heart

Yellow fields parched and dry
No one will tell me why I thirst?
Why a seed is blackened in my hand?
I just want the rain to come
My hands are things the past will not tell me
As I bellow at some guy down the road
He is bothered by something I cannot hear

Children on and on conveyor belts
Stretching all the way to a small flat yard
Where the news is still the same
As it was when I was throwing sand

People punching in and out
Telling her to establish herself in a boxed
Packaged on-the-shelf life
And we wonder why we've lost our self

And the battles cry to tired ears on and on
To tired ears who pick up and carry on
Put down with rain
Sun shine down on me again

We are growing in a bright field
And there are many
We are rising from the brightest flame
Whose love never ends

And we all begin to walk lighter
Lighter explorers
Bewildered at the sight
Of a great light

It spoke to them of fields
Of veins of familiar things
Passing away

Of watching time fire flying away
A flow the birds know beats beyond time know

Cocooned in a pulse
In holy awareness in the warm, shared joy
Of being in sum
