This dream - this image haunts me
beckons me to come explore.
Walking through a village somewhere
Was it on some distant shore?
I couldn't say for certain
but we left here in a cab
and arrived by some strange miracle
in the midst of a procession so sad
My eldest son and i alone
walked through those dusty streets
Yet not alone at all
for strangers led with dusty feet.
Encompassed by a singing throng
in a language I've never heard
my son and I walked on in awe
not missing the meaning of their words
I couldn't say for sure just how
or why we landed in that scene
but the clearness of their voices
matched their message and fueled my need
Passing by each earthen dwelling
meeting each ones gaze with wonder
Feeling drawn toward something unexplained
drums sonding like distant thunder
And there upon a hand made chair
outside her humble dwelling
sat an ancient one with jet black eyes
needing no words for her story telling
Connected by something so strong
I could not look away
She sang along that chant the throng
was singing on their way
Onyx eyes held me in place
The processsion passed me by
still singing on their ancient song
carried on the winds as i cried
I knew when she had finished
for I felt it in my soul
and i didn't want to leave her
but I traveled on alone
I woke with that ancient melody
still fresh within my thoughts
and went about my daily chores
hoping the tune would never be lost
I couldn't tell you what those dark eyes
of the ancient woman told my heart
but I will continue listening
exploring each and every part
This dream - this image haunts me
beckons me to come explore
and her ancient eyes make me believe
someday i'll hear that song once more
