PRELUDE, AFTER DEBUSSY

 

PRELUDE, AFTER DEBUSSY

I would wrap with gauze of clouds

The Lord God said

The wounds that will not stop weeping

Just sleep the time away fall out of consciousness

Into the best of dreams as if you were suddenly snowing

And compose

The rest beyond all dreams of tenderness

And lullabies will sway the trees

In your half fitful dreams and the lily moon

And kick the covers off the skies

And be comforted my child my child

In the cruel crib of the earth

By the angelic song of all the flowers

Rising and falling around you.
