Stove

I see you at the first light
I see you as a buddha might
In his gold and contemplative robes

It is true I suffer from the short sight
Never knowing how to put things right
That is, as it seems, the way life goes

I cross the bridge of dear delight
So lucky to have caught that last flight
There is a purpose I presuppose

Sipping gin, and feeling tight
Floating high and flying kites
Every which way the wind blows

At the lake, close on up to midnight
Trailing paths and fleeing fright
It is the time when the love grows

Our fire of hope is burning bright
We have a fair and reasonably clear
Hold of the insight

Wait for the dreams
As dreamers only know
We are turning back to the first light
