There is a connection (2010 rerelease)

[Silas Thorne]

Spaced out by waiting in wide open spaces
I hear the cicadas out by the trees,
where the swallows skim lightly, close over land's carpet,
there is a connection.
There, by the base of your shadow.
There, where your foot sole's tied on tight.
Creeping up your spine,
flashing in your grey eyes bright,
there is a connection.





(Thanks to NikolaiI, for singing a beautiful song.)

A poem in my honour! Thanks, Silas! I needed that. :)
Loved the first line especially..

and I think I noticed, but could be different interpretations and meanings, but I think I noticed a few in the lines

"There, by the base of your shadow.
There, where your foot sole's tied on tight."

Great poem!

This is a very elegantly constructed poem with some nice touches - liked 'the land's carpet' and 'your foot sole's tied on tight' in particular.

The thrill of it is, for me, that it feels as if you just opened your mouth and the song came out spontaneously!

I can't say I understood it, but I enjoyed it all the same .. and why 2010 release?
