Prevelli Ravine ( Crete 1992 )

Prevelli Ravine ( Crete 1992 ) Ghost song The ancient priest left in the monastery stone Long before my encounter Within the walls repeat their long labour Monument and missionary linger Hushing a wind into olive groves Searching for the nameless Minoan Outside of human mystery recollections Beyond my makeshift mask of intelligence The birds awaken Tropic songsters jungled forests of palm Star dusted dark a canopy of sleep Reflections a fall of endless beauty Rainbow fish in deep water clarity Leap into freedom And the jungle voice a hymn of whispers Follow them Follow them The pools sink to deeper ravines Rivers of sand and turquoise water Fluent lighted domains of Knossos Alter the ponderings of palms and cliff In network ripples tracing starseed patterns On a Phalanx of fluted clouds Leaping to freedom From the clear water crystal laughter River to the sea The beach My tent And me Follow Follow Follow them
