white as diamonds
b l i z z a r d !!!
just some music and some photos to celebrate...
*
i've known mornings
white as diamonds,
silent from a night so cold.
such a stillness,
calm as the owl glides.
our lives are buried in snow.
i was sifting through the piles,
in my hand a tangled thread,
each patient tug upon the snarl
is a glimpse of what has been.
burdened bands gain strong hands,
gaping holes where diamonds should be.
must have been morning that stole them—
a glint of white in the pocket of winter.
and some hearts are ghosts settling down in dark waters,
just as silt grows heavy and drowns with the stones.
i've known mornings
white as diamonds,
silent from a night so cold.
such a stillness,
calm as the owl glides.

Oh! This is my very favorite Alela Diane song--the lyrics and video are just so beautiful and still, aren't they? And that first photo of the snow and flowers is lovely (I must admit, I am jealous of the snow...it is dry and clear where I live).
ReplyDeleteyes! the video makes me thirsty for cold forest air. i need to listen to more alela.
