She Plays Viola

The young girl with daisy eyes plays viola
while standing on the high grand canyon rim
and visions twirl from her vibrating strings
of Joshua and the walls of Jericho
and Moses leading his people to freedom
while they eat mushrooms and dance in moonlight.

The wise girl with corn-silk hair plays viola
while dancing on the shore of the wild sea
and laughter rings from her tremulous strings
of Phoebus and the running laurel tree
and Orpheus leading the dead from Hades
while they eat mushrooms and dance in moonlight.

The weird girl with crow-black soul plays viola
while twirling in mist of Multnomah Falls
and melodies flash from her ancient strings
of Arthur and the sword of honest truth
and Merlin leading lost souls to Stonehenge
while they eat mushrooms and dance in moonlight.

The strange girl with nimble hands plays viola
while skipping over soft Sahara dunes
and sorrow echoes from her spiral strings
of Ishtar and the pyramid of eyes
and Onatah leading us to Wohali
while we eat mushrooms and dance in moonlight.
