A ripple a torrent a tide I George Wallace & Electronic Friends

Описание: A RIPPLE A TORRENT A TIDE (3:16)
It will happen before you know it, a scripture,
a bell, a simple declaration sealed by hand,
and preordained; a ripple a torrent a tide,
inescapable, a script of honeybees strung
with sunlight; absorbed in a fragrance all
its own; lure of desert oasis, lure of Isfahan;
blush of roses, songbird returned to a garden
after all the young men have gone to war;

it will happen, and you will know it, in the clank
and clatter of anchor chains, in the mizzen raised
and in play, in the operatic indecipherables, in
the libretto freely abandoned before courtiers
and kings; in tumult of hands, tumult of hands, in
torch re-lit in the pit of a heart, in the restlessness
of hounds that cannot be held at bay;

and I will take you there, and you will hold it to your
breast drinking, from a mountain stream you will coax
it back to life with shy caresses;

the mule is in his last hour; the lion has quit his cage;

water in the jug, scripture, bell, simple declaration before an
altar and sealed by hand; the defeat of envy, the resurrection
of innocence; new birth in an old alpine meadow; love, love,
new love, oblivious of consequences, convoluted and free;
love, the conqueror, rescuer to the heart, bearer of all burdens,
and crucible to the same;

I will take you there, I will take you there, by ripple by torrent by
tide, by shrug; by script of honeybees new-strung with sunlight;
absorbed in a fragrance all its own.
