BLUEBIRDS UNSCROLLED

 

BLUEBIRDS UNSCROLLED

Bluebirds unscrolled the fairytale proclamations

Holding the ribbons aloft

And we drifted with clouds as though

There were no cares no cares at all in the kingdoms

Of magenta and emerald of an unforeseen violet

Oh winds like a music from the North of anywhere

I have seen the angels at the four corners and

Said it is good oh my soul we should be here

Let us build a tabernacle to the pearl of this day

Never coming back

To the ungemmed stories

They told us when we were afraid

When we were sore afraid.
