Lying here under a warm sun
Everything seems so far away
Pink Floyd are playing with my ears
“a cloud of eiderdown draws around me softening the sound”
I like to write dreamy word poems
Imagine them painted on your mind
Know that they touched you in a certain way
That maybe only my words could set you free
“and I rise like a bird in the haze and the first rays touch the sky”
But it seems the moments may just have been illusory
The dolphin’s dive just a memory
A silenced splash in a forgotten sea
“Behold a dream, the dream is gone”
The cicadas fill the night with their incessant cries
Each one sounds so lonely and lost
As the full moon slips over the hill one last time
“and the candle dies”
(italicised lyrics taken from the song ‘A Pillow of Winds’ by Pink Floyd
from the 1971 album Meddle)
