The Birth and Death of the Day

I wrote this as a response to the song "The Birth and Death of the Day" by Explosions in the Sky. Whenever I hear that song it's like an entire universe explodes in my mind, and I can see so many things. This is a very uplifting and emotional song. I decided to write down what i felt, or heard or saw as the song progressed. As you can see I embedded the song here so when you read this please listen and try to see where you can put the words with the music. That is my goal. To translate what I experience when i hear this, to you. :] Enjoy!

____________________________________________________________

a whisper of change

the firmament

the seas

the explosion of light

the dawn of the day is creeping

the earth takes form

the beginning of life

i see a peace

through the blades of grass

i see the harmony begin

i hear the wind in the birds wings

i hear the rushing waters

the chain expands

the circle of life spins

but where is the master?

he is above and within

glorying in his creation

he is singing with the process

stepping back to see one missing piece

a handfull of dust

formed to a likeness

breathe

form

life sprung in perfection

and here we start

the spiral of life

twirling through the years

inventing and mastering the arts

beauty from everything

the master's handiwork continues to blossom

we reach a peak

at the brightest sun

fading into a blissful sleep

this is a new beginning

the means to an end

slowly mystery creeps

and yet the master knows

where is the need to mend
