Illusion Sublime

I'm balancing The west and the east In the tributaries of my mind And whether it's time to bend The circle again Find another trail to grind Another love to intertwine Another freeway to ride When the dawn rolls around And the warblers sound And the blood moon is hanging low I'll be gone when the fog Of ambivalence burns off but I have no place to go Away from silver cities and smoke Away from everything I've known When I'm gone away Will you still miss me in your life? Or am I just a dog-eared page In the margins of your mind? I've been trying to set aside All the howls and the cries So saccharine The honey and the wine And the harvest green and ripe I have wandered these hills With joy and still My hollowness creeps by Where the rivers divide And where the years forget time When I'm gone away Will you still miss me in your life? Or am I just a dog-eared page In the margins of your mind? I've been trying to set aside All the hows and the whys When the evening debuts And the reds and the blues Melt to violet at twilight I will hum over a guitar And serenade the stars And the world that's intangibly wide And bends through an indigo of light It's an illusion sublime
