Zooming in from a distant night
Through clouds of storm and slowed down light
The mistress of shadows in a meadow on a rock

Is picking a lock as the mossy trees talk
Awakened in a pond the turtle comes forth
With promise of action as secrets unfold

Sleepers are walking with blindfold and book
A push through the fabric is all that it took


In a whirwind of truth the center was clear
On the back of a turtle I waded through fear
Heavy is the dream as I burn in the sun


Heavy is the dream as I fall just for fun
Zooming out from an endless flight

Through oceans of doubt and left here or right
The master of illusions in a field on a stone
Is setting a trap in a bull's hip bone

Always on it's toes the turtle sees all
With mouthfuls of brilliance she gives me the ball
As serpents are writing it down in my book

A push through the fabric is all that it took
