An hour passed beneath the willow Before we saw the sallow light, It slipped and slid between the depths Of dusk and clouds that own the night. Still we sat, watching streams That danced above the atmosphere Where gravity begins to fade Along with most of future’s fears And still we sit and wonder why We gild the lilies on the shore, And still we sit and wonder why We can’t say what we’re waiting for.

gilding the lilies
An hour passed beneath the willow Before we saw the sallow light, It slipped and slid between the depths Of dusk and clouds that own the night. Still we sat, watching streams That danced above the atmosphere Where gravity begins to fade Along with most of future’s fears And still we sit and wonder why We gild the lilies on the shore, And still we sit and wonder why We can’t say what we’re waiting for.
