Em D Em D Em

If I look

or if I don't look

Em D

clouds are always passing over

the place I live.

The place I live

passing under

Em D

my feet while my mind wanders

in a sea of fog.

On a ridge

seeing through a hole in the fog

("A thought out of nowhere comes passing through")

I say to myself

"Behold"

("But I")

but I see nothing.

Rocks and water and wood

not speaking to me.

Slow and uneasy and alive.

("The sea of fog")

I mean the place lives

and clouds pass over

the landscape

a blanket on stone

Land waves are rolling.

("Through a fog, this is a brief life.")

("A life as brief as the morning fog")

Momentarily,

I come out from under.
