lyrics

grape leaves and talking drums
the call to prayer and waters strung
unpurpled signs and fishing lines
shepherds and donkeys treading weary tells
effervescent algae and white moon powder
tahini, pima, and pulverized colors sailing into the ol’factory
fruit drops and plum jam drawing
moisterous squeaks within the cavern of flavor
ram trumpets and ceremonial gatherings
blessings and hopes, tears and longings
speech that cuts to the dull point of near hopelessness
heat that hugs enlightening pores and welcoming rest

all in adventure and enjoyment
in an attempt to learn and experience
sometimes concluding like ‘the Preacher’
at other times like Israel during Hosea’s inspiration
‘ah! the wine and oil proceeding from
the stone-faced god, the strong sustainer.’

Remember, remember the wilderness wandering
The humbling suffering and rude rebellion
Your only hope is intercession
Remember, remember the glory transcending.
