I’ve been here before, this very place
And I remember how light hit
The grass as it quivered softly, just
Like a thousand moments passing through
Or a hundred memories now new
Because I’ve been here before, this very place
And, yet, I’m back again.
I dreamt for months once, long ago
That these colors changed their hue
Where I slept beneath train tracks
That rattled day and night
Stirring visions forgotten in the past.
I’ve run far, I’ve traveled wide
Many miles on the roads I called home.
It seems as though I’m here again
In this sleepy, cozy burrow
My fingers claw familiar earth
They have long since known the feeling
Of the heat deep within this place
Where life was simple and astounding
God breathed the breath that fed the flame
A spark of magic so confounding.
