Drumlins and Dropstones

­You can see me, in the dust upon the mantle 

You can see me, in the soot on the floor 

There’s one of me, in each and every corner 

There’s one of me, behind every closed door 

But I’m not, open to opinion 

I’m not, open to ideas 

I’ll be here, I’ll be here forever 

I’ll be here, I’m part of this dream 

 

Pressure crushing, ever pushing me 

Leave me crawling, helpless to be free 

Drag me, pull me, kneed me, shape me,

I’m feeling drawn out, ever crushing me 

 

Here I lie, wind weathered and battered 

Looking up, up at the sun 

I’m here, I’ll be here forever 

Waiting here, until I am moved on 

Far away, from where I started 

Left high, strung out on the floor 

Smoothed and tempered, forever changing 

Squeezed and shaped, and waiting for more

 

Pressure crushing, ever pushing me  

Leave me crawling, helpless to be free  

Drag me, pull me, kneed me, shape me, 

I’m feeling drawn out, ever crushing me 

 

Time – Stretch – Feel – Free – Leave 

Wake – Move – Make – Me – Breath 

 

As the streams run 

As the fires burn 

As the air moves 

As the earth flows
