FRAGMENT 5464

I woke on a leaf
With dew on my feet
Yellow and black
And a world under me

The fennel was tall
The morning was gold
I tasted the wind
And it knew me by name

Then I had that dream
Again and again
A river of flowers
That wouldn't end

I flew through the blue
With the sun on my back
No fear in my body
Just a steady track

Swallowtail dream
Carry me home
Swallowtail dream
I was never alone
Swallowtail dream
High in the green
(swallowtail dream)
That's where I'd be

The nettle and thorn
They never won
I learned how to rise
From the edge of the run

A bird overhead
With a shadow of glass
I slipped through the air
Like a prayer at last

Then I had that dream
Again in my chest
A field full of colors
And nothing in rest

I opened my wings
Like a door to the light
And all of my longing
Turned quiet and bright

Swallowtail dream
Carry me home
Swallowtail dream
I was never alone
Swallowtail dream
High in the green
(swallowtail dream)
That's where I'd be

Now I'm just skin
And a memory thread
But I still feel the lift
Of the life that I led

If I close my eyes
I can follow that stream
Back to the leaf
And the swallowtail dream

Swallowtail dream
Carry me home
Swallowtail dream
I was never alone
Swallowtail dream
High in the green
(swallowtail dream)
That's where I'd be
