Lyrics
i’ve been assembling words and,
on account of my collecting,
they’ve gathered dust, unheard.
these old curios jealously confined;
lacquer-shined it’s time to crack the spine.
unhang the harp from the willow tree!
holler through the hollow from the hymnal sheet!
let loose the ties as tongues arise,
reviving forgotten hallelujahs!
bashfully rendered staves
shouldering the sentiments
sown during dormant days.
sprouting through my field of view, liltingly along
cheerly drawn to song in with the dawn!
unhang the harp from the willow tree!
holler through the hollow from the hymnal sheet!
let loose the ties as tongues arise,
reviving forgotten hallelujahs!
