Linger Longer
Cosmo Sheldrake
Dusty rays and shattered beams
Slippery roads and sunburned dreams
Winter’s loss becomes summers gleam
Come wobbling out of the ocean
Come trickle back to den and roost
Come claw and tooth
And fish and goose
Come fin and tail
And paw and tooth
For life has a passion for living
Distant thoughts become cluttered mind
What is a drop in the ocean?
Far and few but long behind
We’re spun by the heavenly motion
Ring the bell sound made crystalline
Ring out for the cause of all notions
April’s dew becomes autumn’s wine
Leave everything always unbroken
