If I would ask you

lyrics

If I would ask you…
© 2013 R. Chris Dahlgren



If I would ask you to lay on the ground

Nestled like spoons or mosaics of sleepers

here in this meadow with stones as our pillows

And stars as our blanket where crickets abound

Would you think me insane?

Or would you think me just, vain?



If I would ask you to give up your mind to

A line of flight piercing through all definitions

Would our superstitions all wither the moment

We saw our own faces as one who was blind?

If we make it through the night

When we awake in the morning we'll find


Countless little blue flowers opening calyxes to the golden sun

Countless little blue flowers opening calyxes to the golden sun…
