Chris Flew: News/Blog

No idea why, but R+J has been getting major traffic on the site this month. Is there a blog post I don't know about?

I'm going to break this down into a lyric one of these days...


*The White Light Of The Morning*

A darkened hallway
With the white light of the morning
Spilling from doorways
And onto the bed
Silently looking into the next room
My eyes adjusting
To the white morning light

Outside the window
Outside, the lake
Waves rushing up and onto the shore
And receding below us
With calm repetition
I became like a stillness
Silently still

Old lady river
Perfectly whitened
Forming a thin stream
The colour of coral
Forming a curve
The curve of her shoulders
Fractured my eyes
The white morning light

I was so tired
Shifting the weightloss
Remade to joy
And so suddenly mazed
She is coming towards me
So slowly and tenselike
Into my arms
And everything clean

The storm left the branches
Strewn across yardage
Beaches of sand
Laid down so fresh
Impressions of rain
The water is bending
And glistens the stream
With white morning light

Look at the water
Listening and waiting
Got up at dawn
To look at the lake
I wondered about you
So suddenly missing
I waited a lifetime
For white morning light
