The Sublime Cavalcade of a Holy Ghost ( Part Two )
You have called with the wolf in the winter
planted trees that you will never see grow
and we have been a sunburst from clouds that shone
with the watered light of rainbows
Though you have cried within the breathlessness of splendour
we have walked in the canyons of fear
and found in this pursuit of forever
the eternal witness is all of us here
We have carried the harvest of our labour
all the fervour, the desires and the needs
and placed their testament forever beneath the feet of the free
And I have slept with you in the torpor that same proof to life’s drudgery
This is no more than a tale I’ve been living
and its no more than the book of your lives
oh my loves oh my loves
with you in this cavalcade of the sublime
I am there all of the time
carrying this banner of the core of our hearts
to the fields of deliverance
where hope never lost sight
of the parts that we play
in this human pageant leading the way
Holy Ghost in a sublime cavalcade
We have touched on the essence of being
and felt tremulous winds of belief
seen in the seed of love that had grown
where the face of innocence had been sown
You have grasped for a moment the conception
and held the angel of truth by his toe
the finger of God is creation
and the turbulent perfection of chaos perceived
Though we may lose our way in rendition
it is with us here all of the time
oh my loves oh my loves
it is with us here all of the time in this cavalcade of the sublime
These are merely the words of our searching
to voice this feeling of meaning behind all the things to which we aspire
it is the power of our conquest and failure
to carry the banner of our hearts to the fields
This is recognition of the role of our valour
blessed with the heavenly choir
oh my loves oh my loves
I am with you there all of the time in this cavalcade of the sublime
Marching and dawdling holding hand in hand
lost and redeemed
an orchestral vocation of our human band
as we traverse the annals of time
in the company of the sublime
