lyrics
The first sighting of her I had was in a dream.
I was still working on the thesis then. So of course in my unconscious hours I was a gleeful wanderer, traversing the world, an unfolding universe of the pure, distilled refractions of my unconscious, my yearning and hope and loss and love made material in the fabrics of my firing synapses.
And this journey brought me to a wide and winding river in the heart of what I sensed was my mind’s luminous imaginary of suburban Japan. The topography was not urban nor rural, but almost gaseous and effervescent. Purple, pink, warm orange hues bled all around me, dancing between air and water. It was beautiful.
And stretching over me there, and cast across the river of deep magenta, there were these big trees. Big, purple, glowing trees, and giant fluorescent water lilies lapsing between oranges and pinks and suddenly, to my left, in the fantastical water, there was a canoe. And this canoe was readied to take us – yes, now it was us, not just me – downstream, to the great transformative unknown of this other world.
And as we boarded our brave wooden vessel, and pushed off from shore, and began to feel the current embrace us, I sensed her up ahead. I gazed into the undergrowth, as the mystery beyond the riverbend neared, and between the trunks of two wondrous purple-pink trees, there she was – smiling, adorned with jewellery that gently rang out dulcet tones, and cloaked in a reassuring aura of peace and affection and wisdom. And I, overjoyed to see her once more and to be in this place of infinite wonder, leapt from starboard to reach the shore where she stood. And at the zenith of my jump, I woke up.
