Promise Of Spring

(album: Uncertain Country - 2023)

You showed up when you said you would
Green as a measure of new breath
Snaking vein of invisible ink
A promise of spring, when the light grew

And I grew too, becoming again
A slip, a shot, a scion
You arrived as a faun from the bramble
Promise of spring, in a new light

Shot spring
Shot spring

Slipping in on the floor of the valley
Slow advance to the vernal
Blooming hands in rushes of fire
From a dream to a new call

Lines collapsing and expanding
We were in sharper relief
A shot in the dark, as a faun from the bramble
Promise of spring, coming back to life

Shot spring
Shot spring

A promise of spring
A promise of spring
A promise of spring
A promise of spring
