Man On The Street

On Halloween you become Sylvia Plath
The branches are swaying and shadows fly past—
Like her blue and mystical clouds
You ask how I’d feel about life without you
I’m always surprised about how you break through 
The barricades language allows

Look up at the sky from gravity’s ground
At the Pleiades cluster it's wheeling around
We reach and we climb to get close to the stars
But being with you is my heaven 
I live to be where you are

This night is too full of poetry and death
Your hair in the moonlight is taking my breath—
And our sanity waxes and wanes
I hear myself say I would never expect
You’d live beyond twenty without some effect
Of the Romany blood in your veins

Look up at the sky from gravity’s ground
As the Pleiades cluster is wheeling around
We reach and we climb to get close to the stars
But being with you is my heaven 
I live to be where you are

It came to me later what I could’ve said
Maybe what you had wished I would say
Light can still blaze when a star has gone dead
Esprit de l’escalier

Look up at the sky from gravity’s ground
As the Pleiades cluster is wheeling around
We reach and we climb to get close to the stars
But being with you is my heaven 
I live to be where you are

Lyrics by Jeff Walker
Some say the modern-day festival of Halloween originates from an old Druid rite that coincided with the midnight culmination of the Pleiades cluster. It was believed that the veil dividing the living from the dead is at its thinnest when the Pleaides culminates – reaches its highest point in the sky – at midnight.

Pleiades

A DIY multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter/composer, Mark is hand-crafting a small but ever-so-slowly growing catalog of songs at home. When he gets in over his head, he looks for help from some fabulous musicians he's found ..mostly on-line. Mark produces this stuff mostly to keep himself happy, but if you've stumbled on something you like here ..that makes him extra happy.
