Awaken to the Sky
Arnie Davidson / Lisa C. Taylor

The sea is random, the shoreline groomed and taut.
There's a secret opening in the flow of linear thought.
Between the forces something lies, a mystery of time.
It teases and it teaches like a writer finds a rhyme.
CH
Let's not fight about the things that none of us can change.
Open up your songbook, sing something out of range.
There really are no answers, and the questions never end, my friend.
It has to be enough to awaken to the sky
iIt has to be enough to awaken to the sky.

You bring me to water's edge, something I must see.
The ocean's dark and murky, I long to be that free.
Snails on a rotting log, mussels in the tide.
Their homes are on their bodies, and their bodies trust the ride.
CH
If trusting leads to loving, we should walk before we run.
Sharp rocks cut tender feet, words can often stun.
Though we aren't as young as those who rush, we aren't too old to pay.
Listen to the careful tide and what it has to say.
CH
Time shows us life is brief, but we're still a-wasting days.
Saving, buying, owning doesn't clarify the haze.
Just look outside your window, a lily strains to grow.
Open up the bolted door, beauty is high and low.
CH
It has to be enough, to awaken to the sky.
