We're climbing ladders
To reach the space filled with soft shadows
Never to remark upon the razors in our minds
In middle-age we discover maddening bells
In small landscapes we might think of nothing else
Than allegiance to certain storms
Or the idea of God, or any god
Or the floodland we build our houses upon
Under the watchful eye of an aging sun
And when you're falling without a parachute
You'll say sweet merciful Death
Is the only mysterious god you'll ever know
You'll ever really know
Barn red, dotting the landscape
Blood thick, only birth can make the narrative go from here
Spread your wings, or thighs
Or the sheep hopping ingratiating braided tombs
Or the voice, and the only real crime to leave it behind
Oh, I have been wandering in thoughts of you

Wonderful music! Played this at a BBQ with the family. A number of our guests who are from China loved the mix of modern sounds with the Asian musical influence. An Di Yi also is a great supporter of other artists around him which made him a very special artist. Steven X Davies
