NOSTRDAMUS

i wasn't awake
i wasn't asleep as well
my senses dull
but my mind ran
over the hills
galloping wild
in that meadow
over that ridge
within the valley
along the river

spring came
and went away
autumn came
and went away
and with snow
all around
the king arrived
and rode in his royal carriage
the streams rolled a silver carpet
the springs shot up fireworks
in to the sky


i saw the trees
being reborn from old wombs
in the earth
i saw the wind acting
a mid wife and the breeze kind nurse


i wasn't awake
i wasn't asleep either
through that night
when stars were born
and moons were lit

a sun was torn from a heap of suns
in the night of heaven
the day was placed
and i was given
the golden key
to open the gate
and let the angels out


in to the backyard
entered the leopards and took away
the little pups
and their mom
roamed around
seeking her kids

i was the Nostradamus of your age
i saw it happen
before my time
and so was blinded
by the sight
and put in to the well
for thieves to come
and rescue the boy

whose father had
blinded himself
and smelt his sweat
and heard his blood
on a worn out shroud

they did a mistake
they forgot about me
i wasn't awake
i wasn't asleep either
