Hard Rain

Let me rain hard on the ocean
Spill apart like evening's gold
Flower from the roots of time--
Taste moon on the lips of night.
Let the green salt fever rush
Through my tattered, ruined soul
The stars cure all hope--
Let me rain hard on the ocean.

Let me melt away with the snow
Summersault down mossy rocks
Resurrect as cloud and tree--
On swift wings greet my doom.
Let the blue mountains swell
Inside my atom throbbing bones
The wind make me a fool--
Let me melt away with the snow.

I dream of dreaming like the sun
Roaring timeless in Hell's Gate,
Let me melt away with the snow.
My thoughts swim like Chimera
But my body withholds consent,
Let me rain hard on the ocean.
