Reaching spirits sky by sky
Obscene lights and dismal grays
Juxtaposed by windmills and fleeting dreams
Blow me kisses and sing me dreams
Take me on a serendipitous journey down the jet stream
A top a lined mirage, sentinel to mounds
Fuming beams of the sun call him o'er to me
Dreams of days not yet begun and fallacies revealed
Pick me up from pieces lost.
Blow me kisses and sing me dreams
Take me on a serendipitous journey down the jet stream
Know me for him and I for you
Let my soul stream widely on a path unbequethed
Blow me kisses and sing me dreams
Take me on a serendipitous journey down the jet stream
Blow me kisses down the jet stream and let me die with thee.
Some notes
If you read it and hear screamingly country the first time, all is not lost. (Sorry Jake)
Its rather ironically upbeat and bluesy all at the same time. Like I think I am happy at the prospect of dying somewhere on the jet stream someday, especially if someone is blowing me kisses.
Oh how I can wish....
Note, the nerd in me used some older english :D, and also a reference to Don Quixote...and Serendipitous is the best word ever, and the fact that it works rhythmically is ever more better :D. Oh and secret hint at a location of a mound...
The inspiration for this came from a conversation I had...now, having said that, I took it totally (well partially) out of context, and made it into this. That's how I roll, there are just these phrases that pop out at me occasionally, and this is what I turn them into. I can't even explain how I know when i hear/read them. They just sing on the page or in the air. . .
So as a whole, the "blow me kisses and sing me dreams, Take me on a serendipitous journey down the jet stream." gets repeated as the chorus. Which is after every two stanzas, screw it, i'm going to edit this post...
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised to see you use words like Juxtapose and Serendipitous and unbequethed. Those are words I'd only expect hear a rap group like Sweatshop Union pull out, and they're lyrically amazing! Big kudos to you Naomi.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this first I heard some 60s style stuff. It reminds of Donovan style folk music, or something by a Canadian Indie rocker
