Clothed In An Earthy Disguise

I have a new song.

It’s taken a lot to get it finished, but I’m happy that the original idea of ‘hiding in plain sigh’ has been realised. I have a recording of it, but I’m not happy enough with it to add it here.

For the sake of brevity, here it is, and I might post some of the back story to the writing at a later date.

I have in mind a walk through a wood, and trying to be quiet, to be attentive to whatever is around me, and sensing something moving in the trees

The song is in part about being attentive to things in general. Spending time and cultivating an attitude of awareness.

Young Deer

Suspicion of a movement
Beyond a curtain of branches and leaves
Suggestion of a breaking
And making a sound in the trees

Young deer, why are you hiding
And biding your time to appear ?
Is it a hint of your presence
Or maybe your absence is near ?

Elusive as a whisper
Breathing gently, blowing free
Fleeting as some distant music
Carried away on the breeze

Young deer what are you seeing
As you flee from the questioning eye. ?
If I stop, and patiently listen
Will you come on by ?

And meanwhile everything everywhere 
Is hidden from our eyes
 Meanwhile everything everywhere
Is clothed in an earthy disguise
