MYTH
(Hali Hammer)

There once was a myth who lived by the sea
And he sang me a song till the song reached me
He flew from his wave to the air so free
And a cloud kissed his hand as his hand touched me
The taste of his palm on my face was sweet
And it melted like sugar spun upon my cheek
Soft tones from his eyes hummed their tune to me
And he played me the tune and the tune was me.

I wanted to flee form the land of my birth
To his place in the sky far above the earth
I closed both my eyes and I left my head
So my soul could flow forward through the land of dead
The taste of his palm on my face was sweet
And it melted like sugar spun upon my cheek
Soft tones from his eyes hummed their tune to me
And he played me the tune and the tune was me.

I thought through the time and arrived in the past
Where our upside-downness turned ‘round at last
We wrapped all our love in a gossamer cloth
Then we jumped on a butterfly and sailed off
The taste of his palm on my face was sweet
And it melted like sugar spun upon my cheek
Soft tones from his eyes hummed their tune to me
And he played me the tune and the tune was me.

We flew on its wings to the edge of the sky
Wehre the air and the water merge to a sigh
He sighed as he landed upon his wave
And dissolved in the puddle of his ocean cave
The taste of his palm on my face was sweet
And it melted like sugar spun upon my cheek
Soft tones from his eyes hummed their tune to me
And he played me the tune and the tune was me.
