"The
Cool Breeze"
It
is as if the cool breeze has returned,
All of you are his sails...
He really does like this,
this gathering, I mean.
With the absence of any exertion
we're all keeping his instrument in tune,
And whispering the long oo
of his oud.
He
actually welcomed the
Age of Recordings.
He began to suspect that legend was
no longer sufficient to pass on
The Great Spirit.
He needed to make sure the
Disbelievers had no standing.
That the cool breeze could be
felt by anyone. |
