The Astral Sense i

Song Cycle by Amy Gordon

1.
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Within deep eyes
You’ll recognize
Unearthly Sighs
Of sublime skies.
 
And like with fall
The end greets all
Though does not stop to socialize.

2.
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Beneath the breast,
Under the chest,
Each breath does wrest
The soul’s sweet nest.
 
And like with spring
All life takes wing
And heart beat hides the meaningless.

3.
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Atop the skin,
Pink in chagrin,
The lines drawn in
Show where it’s been.
 
And like with time
Each pointless rhyme
Will illustrate now’s idle sin.
