lyrics

The grace of accuracy
Is to have no requirement for accuracy
Setting out on a path
Linear with eastern light
Return to this shore of pebble crunch
And finding all along the need
Was to stop, breathe , be
In silence
And memory turns this way and that
In wan sunlit air
Like a crystal roped
On plumblined light
Now this shine
Now that opacity.
Discard the getting it right
Measuring all distance between
Now and then , here and now-
Just to stand by water
Allow it’s ebb to lap
Your small child’s toes
High tide your heart.
Just to stand by water
Argent at heron lakes’ margin
Shadowed with reed
Just to stand by water
Phosphorescent with loss
Just to stand by water
The castled ferry heaving to leave
Just to stand by water
Savour samphire’s ozone bite
Just to stand by water
Pooled with estuarine light
Just to stand by water
With the certain knowledge
That this is the now of Life
Just to stand by water
This is the grace of accuracy
