lyrics

Nature’s patterns talk
Perianths like the sonar flower of a dolphin’s song
Nature’s patterns speak
Molecules the form of honeycombs
My love still sailing upon every breeze

Mirror me, mirror me
Invisible, invisible
The quantum fields
Thorn yellow, cobalt, green

The summer rain
Beating my window pane
Sheets and torrents lashing down
Paint me a double rainbow
Double rainbow, double rainbow
Double rainbow, double rainbow
Where love is the gold, spun gold

Nature’s patterns sing
The trauma rings of a scarlet oak
Echo trauma rings in me
Nature’s patterns stalk
The spectral fields, see them shimmering
Shimmering, shimmering

The summer pain…
Haunting my winters again
Reigning down in torrents, sheets…
Cast a double rainbow

Double rainbow, double rainbow
Double rainbow, double rainbow
Where love is the gold…
Spun gold, spun gold, spun gold
Sun gold, yellow, green, lilac, greenish black, blue
Cobalt, sap green, ochre, wax yellow, mauve,
Green, verdant, verdant, verdant,
Evergreen… double rainbow…
