Waves #1: Words... ords... rds... ds... s

A simple principle - the pitter-patter of speech -

     electrifying yet illuminating
     illuminating yet evaporating
     evaporating yet finding firm purchase
          as it sinks into your subconscious mind...
This is the power of the spoken word
This is the power of the universe revealed
          as well as its emptiness

                                              The Sacred Word

(Music & Lyrics by Brent Scheihagen)

Would you give me peace if I gave you my life?

Can you give me love on a torn, yellow page?

I thought I’d recognize just what you mean to me

There, behind my eyes your image is laid

…and still, you’re so far away,

And I just can’t find what I’m trying to say

Will you be all things that I want you to be?

Could you be an answer in a matter of time?

Half of what I make of you is how you’re taken

How much of what I give will be given by you?

…and still, you’re so far away,

And I just can’t find what I’m trying to say

I run, run, run for a place in the sun

As you run, run, run off the end of my tongue,

And we run, run, run …
