Paint or Pollen
Navigating Life's Currents: Paint, Pollen, and the Symphony of Choices
Lyrics
Don't move an inch
Stay still, don’t move
Listen for a singing
Pay attention to something melodious or meaningful
Hitting in your bones like they were forks
Feeling something deeply or intensely, likened to a sharp sensation
If you hear what I hear
If you perceive what I perceive
Don't just sit there
Take action, don’t remain passive
We are only strumming water
We are navigating uncertain or fluid situations
On this most unlikely chord
Dealing with an unexpected or unusual circumstance
You got blown shore to shore
You’ve been moved from one place to another, not sailing smoothly
Not quite sailing
Traveling not by choice but due to circumstances
Riding on the trade-winds of age
Moving forward due to the passing of time
Things blow in
Events or experiences arrive unexpectedly
Don't just cast them
Don’t disregard or ignore them
You say it now, what you want to stay
Express what you wish to endure or remain
I was once on a long boat
Once embarked on a lengthy journey
Star-mapping the night routes
Navigating routes using stars in the night sky
Lightening the load
Reducing the burden or weight of something
Just in case
As a precaution or in preparation
Things float in to be taken
Opportunities or elements arrive for the taking
If you don't know by now, what will stay?
If you’re unaware by now, what will endure?
So don't move an inch
Remain completely still
Don't move a single second
Avoid any movement, even for a moment
Until the shade behind your thoughts is not confused
Until the confusion or uncertainty in your thoughts is clarified
'Cause I've felt your itch
I’ve sensed your restlessness or desire
I know the scent as well as any
Familiar with the smell or essence as much as anyone
Clotting your garden
Congesting or obstructing your growth or creativity
Of paint or pollen
The essence or substance of artistic inspiration
Brick in your mortar
An essential part of your foundation
Pedals to soak in
Flowers to absorb or immerse in
On the cracks
On imperfections or difficulties
Thicker or finer
More concentrated or delicate
Milk in your water
Alteration or dilution in your essence
Black in your primer
Addition affecting your starting point or base
Wood in your brush
Material to add substance or texture
Now I am your cloth
I am here to serve or assist you in any way
Whatever you want
Whatever your desire or need
The best is upon us
The greatest moments are approaching
It's a finicky muse
Inspiration is unpredictable and selective
With only potential
Only the capacity to decide or select
To choose
To make choices from various possibilities
