about

What is this song about?

Most times the cleft between our waking life of duties and stimulation and our sleeping life of rejuvenation and dream vision is a boundless chasm. Then there are a few precious moments where the two seem not so very far apart--in sooth, when day and night inform and dance with each other. To be conscious of these moments is a true gift of being alive. And the sense of touch can be a potent awakener to the interplay between these two worlds.

lyrics

The Simplest Touch

When I look into the night
And the stars and spheres surround me
Then with Joy I greet the source
Of the sounds and streams that found me
And to them I make my vow.

When I sink into the day
Staring at the deep blue sky
With my worries deaf and mute
Unremembering am I
In the numbness of the now.

Then I meet with you.

The simplest touch
Of hand to hand
Of flesh to flesh
Of like to like
Recalls the pact
Of light and light
And spans the cleft
'Twixt Day and Night.
