Eden's Grave

Have I lived so long in Eden’s grave and never felt the ocean's wave or touched the silken butterfly who dances for the children’s eye Colors more than sight allows have I embraced those burning clouds ending days in appetite for stars in heaven's pride of night did I live so long and never taste snow - so shyly kissing the face aimless, white melodies clothes for barren naked trees do I listen what the rivers say they’re wisdom of a thousand days winding from a mountains height against the stone's endless fight A scissor tail, robin's nest did I hear the song so curious Have I lived at all - have I lived a day Have I lived so long in Eden’s grave
