Safe Harbor for Seafarers (One More Surge of Wind)

about

written by charlie loudin

lyrics

see that sliver of late red light?
the clouds and trees and city work tirelessly to form a prism
and we watch the red-shift in real time
as the land rises to block the sun
and give rest to retinas and leaves

o, perfect watchmakers!
o, sleepy observers!
record with astronomical precision
the sounds and dimensions
of the ceaseless surf
on hallowed shores

we are safe, we are nestled:
between slow appalachia,
bathtubs left by glaciers,
cretaceous seabeds
and a blanket of oxygen, nitrogen and cirrus vapor

i walk well-loved paths with my sister and brother
we hope for wind, snow, babies and centuries
we are trees in each other’s churches
someday we’ll leave footprints in volcanic ash
and in interglacial snow
our delicate, intricate signatures
in sacred text lasting seconds or eons
asserting our permanence in proper, cosmic terms
