Nicolas Despo: Music
be like that to me
(nicolas despo)
painting by nicolas despo
be like that to me
flames leap in all directions
igniting everything in sight
fire everywhere
ashes in red-orange light
oh beloved, be like that to me
beginnings of the river
on the mountain sky
the ocean calls that river
to her sacred feet
oh beloved, be like that to me
raging wind and burning yellow sun
the chisel tools of time
re-shape the beauty of this changing world
oh beloved, be like that to me
rumbling in the caves
cracking in the fields
shaking up the branches of the trees
quaking of the earth that rattles every bone
oh beloved, be like that to me
gift of loss you temper the heart
the soul that longs to come back home to you
i'm drowning in the constant downpour of this rain
oh beloved, be like that to me
hand of god takes this rusty steel
place it in your fire
shape it change it turn it into shining gold
oh beloved, be like that to me
