New Universe

we have been launched
we have been set free
it's the hands of our fathers we now leave
and in our time
seconds are as weeks
and so we fly very slowly like air mail
and our engines
there are twenty-four of them
as we sit on the lower wings they cry above
and our propellers
turn very slowly
but unlike before they will last forever
over the bed
and out through the door
we have successfully navigated
astounded eyes
go opening after us
as we fly into a new universe

Little Air to Breathe

little girl stepped on a flower
little girl cried for hours
empty hall never a soul to see
little light little air to breathe
wheels turn air is cruel outside
something is lying by the road
further out nothing for miles and miles
stare ahead ignore what is behind
little girl stayed at home that night
weather change close the windows tight
empty hall howls of mystic wolves
a million tears are begging to find rest
wheels spin patterns are raging
solemn cage no longer ties them
what is more the course will be plain to see
in the morn they cry for hours and hours
little girl stepped on a flower
little girl cried for hours
empty hall never a soul to see
little light little air to breathe

There is a Place

there is a place
where he can hide and
collect the pretty things
that are around him
if he can find them
oh no, he's not what you think
while away the time doing nothing
he's got plans and means to keep them
halfway through a time that no-one's counting
so he might ask you where you're going
have you seen anything
that you could give to him
he would be happy
and if he feels so inclined he might stop a while
and try to understand
there is a book
that he might try to read
look at the pictures
well aren't they pretty things
if you believe in them
oh no, they're throwing thunderbolts
scarring the land - churning up the sea
if only i could have one
all for me
all for me

what are these wide open spaces
is there a centre for
us to make for
have they forgotten to tell us
how to measure our own needs in this crowd
huddled in their circles
some are large and some are small
and most are not sure at all
passing secrets have won
their place in time
the low and darkest sun
no one will find
what are these clouds that form
blocking the moonlight
straining our eyes
just the fireflies wink at themselves
wonder if they are saying the same things as i
huddled with company that
shivers as night is free
from obvious boundary
passing secrets have won
their place in time
the low and darkest sun
no one will find
she'd love us if we could ever be found
through whispered fields undone everywhere sound

Awake in the Dark

i woke in a cold sweat and looked outside
i saw strange eyes upon me and scream i tried
maybe it's all in my mind
don't lie awake in the dark
don't lie awake
i saw daggers concealed behind your smile
i sensed a change in the balance of heart felt life
don't lie awake in the dark
don't lie awake
you said i worry too much and i know that's true
it was the last time i heard it coming from you
don't lie awake in the dark
don't lie awake

No Easy Path

one day was a plateau of pleasant grass
the next it seemed impossible to pass
hand in hand along a string bridge we move
to see the sights the never ending view
while planks of wood are splitting underneath
one joy gives a feeling of wanting more
and then a crash and it's easier to fall
when cries of help are no more than a whisper
to cling to love is all you can hope for
here alone the darkness can only win
cling to love it's all you can hope for
here alone the darkness can only win

Into Night

into night the summer bird flies
oh and the leaves are sure to follow
sapling sighs up to the weeping willow
rabbit cries he's never where he wants to be
and time's running fast
no good to be last
no time to sit back and think
i didn't mind to be the sunshine
oh let me lay upon my pillow
all a dream it's getting colder when you
fall asleep you're there a little longer
now sapling with one eye
raised up to the sky
waits for falling glimpse of white
she built a castle on the side of yonder mountain
upon a ledge to see the sleeping light of eden
they flew to her balcony higher than the trees
to ask the question where to flee the frozen breeze
(credo)
i don't mind the sleeping sunshine
i don't mind my shadow
free of all the years in my mind
welcome all that follows

The Pond

i'm standing
i'm bathed in rays
of the warmth that
had gone away
you're missing
all those years
of progress
with some tears
and i hear an engine
in the sky
you're wondering
what have i brought
to this open grave
what weighs me down
i'm feeling
just like a boat
swamped by tidal waves
but i won't drown
and i have a stone here
in my hand
sometimes some help
from on that knows a way
is all we need to find ourselves
we need a place to really live
and to die
i watch the sun go down
with no fear of losing hope
but only for a while
we're still searching on
i'm sorry
i didn't know
the paths we took
would lead us here
our laughter
and our tears
are nothing now
we've bigger fears
we're searching for home
searching for...

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 6 fans who also own “Fields”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.

Cyan - For King And Country 2021
by Cyan
supported by 5 fans who also own “Fields”
I received the vinyl version of "For king and country" today through justforkicks Germany. Such a wonderful album in this rerecorded version. I did own the Si-music version on CD many year ago, but sold it for reasons back in the days. This new version is a complete different thing. A real gem. It brings back memories and is something completely new and different at the same time. Happy have the digital version as well for my outdoor music time. Thanks a lot.
