♫Iridescent Dreams♫

This is one of those visionary flights of poetry that came to me during a fugue state in Italy. I knew exactly what it meant at the time. Now? Heh heh. I do regret the loss of my fugue states.

LYRICS=

They don’t know where they’re going.

They don’t know what it means.

You don’t see false flags waving

in your iridescent... dreams...

The World goes out of focus.

The Mind turns upside down.

The shaman shakes his rattle

Everywhere is holy ground.

The mist, it just keeps rising

far above the murky lake,

and blooms into a Buddha,

with every breath you take.

They don’t know where they’re going.

They don’t know what it means.

Their minds are all on fire,

burning in some young girl’s jeans

The seed it hangs suspended.

The trembling heart, it seems...

to give birth to cloudy mountains,

in your iridescent... dreams...

Fire on the mountain!

Fire in the lake!

Fire burning in your mind,

with every breath you take.

The whole world is on fire,

with the force of burning need...

as the object of desire turns

in iridescent... dreams...

They don’t know where they’re going.

They don’t know what it means.

All that... wasted... glory...

is just leaking through the seams.

It all comes out of emptiness.

You’re riding alongside

of the space thru which you are passing,

the horse on which you ride.

The sound out of the silence,

and the echos that won’t die,

The gleaming comprehension,

that is shining in her eye.

You can see the big wheel turning.

You can see the prayers ascend.

You can see the angels flying...

in a spiral round the bend.

You can hear the warplane’s thunder!

You can hear the children scream!

I’m surprised that you don’t wonder

in your iridescent... dreams...

Fire on the mountain!

Fire in the lake!

Fire burning in your mind,

with every breath you take.

The whole world is on fire,

with the force of burning need...

as the object of desire turns

in iridescent... dreams...

The pale rider is mounting,

on a nightmare in the sky.

Cassiopea is dancing

Why don’t you come outside?

Why don’t you come outside......

and play?
