Prism

I knew a man
Who lived in a rainbow
When his colors ran
He was more than peaceful
He danced on emerald hills
Never needed any more
Than this life would give him
Like Baryshnikov, he danced
A sublime audition
For an audience in his mind...

And all the passersby...... they watched
As he spun circles around Eden
And all the passersby ...they let go
A sublime joy
But he never stopped to see them
He just danced, and he danced, and he danced...

He never walked in this world
He glides in the next
A place of truth and Love
And providence
But all the simple situations
Kept him from Love at a glance
It never felt quite right to him
It just never felt quite right...

The stars shone brightly
That fateful, and most holy night
When he spied an angel in the street
Bathing in celestial light
And as he stared in celestial silence
She moved in quiet sway
Wrapped in the arms of a rainbow
Where everything seemed so familiar
Why did she seem so familiar?...

I knew a man
Who lived in a rainbow
Who found his Love in a prism
And as their colors did blend
They were more than peaceful
And as she touched his hand
They began to dance
As all the people began to understand
They just danced, and they danced, and they danced
They danced on emerald hills
Where they danced themselves
Beyond comprehension
And into the refraction
Of a prism
When the music of Love
Welcomed them
Into the arms of a rainbow...
