The Green Pajamas

Surfacing


Are you here father
Could you hear us come on the breeze
Did you watch us arrive from the trees
Are you here

Will you wait forever
Not knowing you'll never get better
Not caring you'll never remember
Loving me

So do you remain
Where the loons dive into the lake
Where the murky water breaks
And awaits

And will you remain
Where the moon dies in the lake
To stand for ever insane
In the cattails and the rain

Were you here brother
The green sun and seven red moons
Arose from the watery room
Where you drowned

Did you see mother
Where the heron hung from the tree
Or here in the garden with me
Or where I went down
