Large Red Man Reading
Whispers from Cosmic Guests: Revelations in Verse
Lyrics
There were ghosts that returned to
Returning ghosts come back to Earth.
Earth to hear his phrases
They come to listen to his spoken words.
As he sat there reading, aloud
The man reads aloud while seated.
The great blue tabulae
Reading from significant, blue surfaces.
They were those from the wilderness of
Ghosts from starry wilderness expected more.
Stars that had expected more
Disappointment in the outcome of their return.
There were those that returned to hear him
Others return to hear about the essence of life.
Read from the poem of life
Reading from the poem of life's details.
Of the pans above the stove
Mentions pans above the stove and pots on the table.
The pots on the table, the tulips among them
Including tulips, symbolizing life's beauty.
They were those that would have wept
Those who would have cried stepping into reality.
To step barefoot into reality
Expressing a desire for a genuine experience.
That would have wept and been happy
The longing for a mix of joy and sorrow.
Have shivered in the frost
Experiencing the chilling beauty of frost.
And cried out to feel it again
Expressing a desire to relive the emotions.
Have run fingers over leaves
Tactile interaction with natural elements.
And against the most coiled thorn
Facing difficulties, like a coiled thorn.
Have seized on what was ugly
Finding beauty even in the unpleasant.
And laughed, as he sat there reading
Laughter amid the act of reading.
From out of the purple tabulae
Reading from mystical, purple surfaces.
The outlines of being and it's expressings
Exploring the essence and expressions of being.
The syllables of it's law:
Reference to the syllables of life's law.
Poesis, poesis, the literal characters
Emphasis on the literal characters of existence.
The vatic lines
The prophetic lines of poetry.
Which in those ears and in
Impression on delicate and suspended hearts.
Those thin, those spended hearts
Color and shape imbued in the narrative.
Took on color, took on shape and the size
Conveying the true size and nature of things.
Of things as they are
The words reflect reality as it is.
And spoke the feeling for them
Words express the feelings they lacked.
Which was what they had lacked
The lacking feeling finds fulfillment.
