Without paper without ink Would you set out to think A song that never was sung With words that were not spoken On lines that have not hung The signs that leave no token Stray with me the strands of intricate layers Strong and swift, swim within this stream
Within the whorls that blink About an infinite ocean Stars grow and shrink Collapsing in slow motion With all the world you spin Stay with me the spell of a lucid motion To charm the noumenous deep Calm and sweet, swim within this dream In bone and blood and skin A story safe in keep Sway with me in swing of alternate weather Strong and swift, swim within this stream
Wide word in tone will speak Beyond a strange commotion In thought that gathers and leaks Strains of cogent notion Lay with me in swoon of elaborate feather Calm and sweet, swim within this dream
Without ink without paper Would you set out to taper A song that never was sung With words that were not spoken On lines that have not hung The signs that leave no token Play with me in fields of nebulous cover Strong and swift, swim within this stream
