By The River Rea

from And the Rainbirds Sang by Frances Smith

lyrics

By the river Rea I lived
and slept 'til morning
when the wild birds began to sing
I heard you walking

There's always ways to cross
the space that's calling
between the empty dream
and the sky that's falling

And I saw you walk through the ford
as it led to the road beyond
the small and pleasant place
where we clung to earth
through all it's turning

By the river Rea I lived
and spent the night times
dreaming as weaving frames
of these events were unfolding

They say the reeds are strong
and it's time brings them down
and I saw the wind touch
them, and they were shaking

And the fragile held out it's arms
and gave no real account
of why this battle began
and we cut the sweet briar down
despite it's pleading
