After the Harvest

 

 

Always before us there have been true believers

Rising above the rank and file drums

Now for a short time we gather small treasures

And after the harvest there is sweet kingdom come

 

Once we had wings and could fly over mountains

In the blue yonder we had a home

There was a time we could all walk on water

Then we saw a reflection and sank like a stone

 

There are these bridges from the past to the present

There are these bridges from now until dawn

There are these rivers that flow on forever

We are like rivers on our way home

This is an attempt at a mythological bluegrass Buddhist Gnostic gospel hymn. Lisa and I hit two out of the six.
