Song to Stone

Look at the faces of the lonely cliffs
staring out at the sea
they raise their eyes at night
to glimpse the stars

Look at the faces of crumbling boulders
that say, come, and rest on me
they burrow down in moss
and muddy ground

Look at the faces of earnest, brave pebbles
laughing in rushing cold creek
they dance and spin in light
and water smooth

Look at the faces of silvery-cool rocks
resting in the shade of a tree
they look out at the green
and sigh so sweet

Invisibility

I've got to tell you something,
a strange story indeed,
it happened just yesterday,
when I went out, you see...

I went to town to see my friends,
but my friends did not see me.
It was such an odd feeling,
this invisibility.

It must've been the cloak I wore
that made me so transparent,
or maybe it was a trick of the light,
though I'm not so scientific

Whenever I waved or said hello
they'd no response to give,
my voice went through their ears just like
clear water through a sieve
