lyrics

Dreams and Omens

I dreamt I met a scorpion
who lived under the wall,
with yellow jointed lobster legs
and body black as gall.
Afraid I was I'd step on him
barefoot in the night
but then I see he's a part of me,
that sting's to help me fight.

I found a silent kingfisher,
flotsam on the stones.
No darting ray of bright blue flight
but crystal salt and bones.
Sad I was for brilliance tarnished
and vital spark cut cold,
but then I see a gift for me
of feathers blue and gold.

I dreamt a pair of golden snakes
just outside my door.
They held my spine between their teeth
but not to make me sore.
Confused I was between their tugging,
one earthward, one to sky,
but then I see they're stretching me
so I can grow, and fly.

The world becomes a richer place
when these things appear.
The sky becomes much bigger,
the Otherworld draws near.
There's a clarity in these moments
in a surreal sort of way,
and coincidence abounding
seems the nature of the day.
