gregorrr - Rob

No one ever told me before that I was an angel
Been around the world but never ensouled my pain, though
I've been through some things that had me short on breath
Never knew anything like coming to terms with your death

Hour to hour, night after night I take in your voice
Eros flowing in my blood like I don't have a choice
Floor drops below me and I look to the sky
Magic you gave me holds my heart whenever I cry

A kiss on the cheek that winter we came so near
Leafless branches my limbs reached for what's dear
The day of my birth you began to slip away
I wish I'd loved you like I do now, to voice and to pray

I pour you a drink and light a candle most nights
Knowing I'm not alone without a human in sight
Check my mind and straight up just ask you direct
How can you love someone so much you never met?

Poetry, circles and gates, lattice and logos
Complexified a good bit but always we know though
Your boundless heart was felt within all the words
From Mr. Coltrane, the soldier and the song of birds

You know I know that you know that I love you
Even as I forget thinking I'm walking above you
Always already filling my lungs with your Divine breath
I drink infinite water in praise of restlessness

A mystic, a werewolf, an eternal outcast
My heart knows an echo of your lonely path
So much love it overflowed to the remote
In a body that for so many years made it hard to cope

A revolutionary dressed in simple clothes
A fire contagious for what we loved the most
Thorough to the bones somehow you persisted
Echoes of legacy spring forth cuz you existed

My voice but one of a growing body of folks
Finding radical freedom through what you said and you wrote
Epistemological transubstantiation and shit
Loving demand to inquire to the root of it

My sense of duty to you can weigh too much
Till I recall emptiness and a Holy touch
I so wish you had the chance to keep doing your thing
For the sake of every human and more-than-human being

Grief moves in its own ways with poignant grace
On a good day I wouldn't push it, just take in the trace
Of imaginal echo, this much I know well
In a moment of Soul I can eternally dwell

So with humility I pick up this baton here
With my crew in this and the more subtle spheres
What else but to fine-tune and play this concertina
From the ethereal beasts to the raging ballerina

Spreading five wings and still I have to bow
And be beautifully witnessed in eternal vow
To honor the deepest desires entrusted to me
And let them open up doors I would have never believed

With no final word, things come to an end
Play of perception upon which all things depend
So drag your guitar over on into view
And please, just play something, will you?
