LINDEN (FOR JACOB)- lyrics

I MISS THE GARGOYLE
ROCOCO QUADRANTS YOU LED ME THROUGH
CHURNING AND TWISTED
LIKE US OVER YOU
YOU ARE UTTERLY GIFTED
FUNNY TOO
AND TO MY BENEFIT, SOMETIMES
YOU TREAD THE WAY AT MY PACE

why

IDEAS LIKE
THE FLAMES' WINGSPAN
APPEARED AS MINISCULE SPARKS
& THEN THEY WERE FANNED
BY DELUGE IN THE DARK
RANKLED TO OBLIVION
BY PYROGENIC FLASHES
OF SURGICAL OPINION
CAUTERIZING THE SKY (CAUGHT YOUR EYES IN THE SKY)
WITH INFINITE LASHES

why

STIFLING AND VIBRANT
DEVOUR WINDS ON WHICH THEY ALIGHT
APPROACHING EDGES OF CIRRUS
THOUGH WE ARE TRAINED WE FEAR THE FLIGHT
SELFSAME BREEZE FEEDS OUR PAIN
BELLOWS TO OUR FLAME
REMEMBRANCE SEEMS TO STRAIN (REMEMBRANCE SEEMS TOO STRANGE)

FOR YOUR PRESENCE IS EAGERLY MAINTAINED
FOR YOUR PRESENCE IS EAGERLY MAINTAINED

WE GAVE YOUR MOM LUCY A SILVER LINDEN TREE
FOR CALM CANOPY OF LIVING WIND IN TREES
A PALM EACH LEAF YOU SEE OPEN HANDS YOU'VE GIVEN FREE
OUR LOVE CONVERTS THE ENERGY OF GRIEF TO HOPE IN ME

why
FOR YOUR PRESENCE IS EAGERLY MAINTAINED
why
FOR YOUR PRESENCE IS EAGERLY MAINTAINED
