On Michael Street
Ethereal Reflections on Michael Street
Lyrics
On Michael street we convalesce
Restoring health and strength on Michael Street
The neighbours speaking Polish do most of the talking
People conversing in Polish dominate the conversation
In the wild garden wrapped in blankets
In a natural garden covered in blankets
We watch the solar lights open their eyes at night
Observing solar lights coming alive at night
I'm afraid of this cowardly condition,
Feeling fearful due to a hesitant state
Though I'm here of my own volition
Being present willingly despite hesitations
Spent by the sun and my skin is stinging
Exhausted by the sun, skin feeling discomfort
Excuse the pun but you are beaming
A play on words, noting the partner's radiant presence
And I love you with no expectation
Expressing love without expecting anything in return
Sometimes I'm rattled by your name
Occasionally feeling unsettled by the partner's name
Immovable rest upon your chest
Being relaxed and secure on the partner's chest
I hear the grass grow
Noticing the subtle, gentle sounds of nature
Today devoid of confusions
A day free from uncertainties or complexities
Inadvertently I make my way towards drainage
Unintentionally moving towards drainage or emotional release
Confidently ploughing into my youth
Confidently navigating through memories of youth
On Michael street we boiled two eggs
Simple act of boiling eggs on Michael Street
You gave me a look of want I dug deep
Receiving a longing look from the partner
And passed the plate around
Sharing and passing things between each other
Of your body I am conscious of your being I am in awe
Being aware and amazed by the partner's existence
Walking barefoot across the kitchen you spoke of the wonders of trust
Partner discussing the importance of trust
Fresh flowers and Brazilian music
Presence of fresh flowers and lively music
There was a rhythm in the room of the home
Sensing a harmonious atmosphere at home
We've come a long way since Christ Church in the cold
Reflecting on progress made from past hardships
And I love you with no expectation
Reiteration of love without expecting reciprocation
Sometimes I'm rattled by your name
Occasional uneasiness caused by the partner's name
Immovable rest upon your chest I hear the grass grow
Feeling tranquil and connected to nature
Today devoid of confusions Inadvertently I make my way towards drainage
Continuing the journey without confusion
Confidently ploughing into my youth
Approaching personal growth with confidence
On Michael street we convalesce
Returning to the theme of recovering on Michael Street
