A coffin and a cross around my heart,
Creeping through the catacombs,
The truth will grow on us like moss.
I woke up with vines around my feet.
The trees had carvings of an ark
Built to sail us to the moon.
Lepers in the lake come crawling out
And bow to the roots.
This is not the road to honor.

Winter was waking up
when I flew back home
I saw it sleeping in
where the flowers had grown.
But the ice never kept you cold
and the sun never made me old
I loved you in stories never told
to you.
Fall came and turned the leaves
Green burnt and bled
I wept for foreign hymns
a stranger in my bed
The earth bowed, the sky dropped down
my footsteps on the dusty ground
Your eyes told me stories never bound
to me.
Summer's wind had stripped the seeds
Dandelions wept
Every forecast shattered
gone even as we dreamt
Easy love withered in the fire
roses hung drying on a wire
Dew of our story lost
a parched desire
for us.
Taken from another time, lover.
Taken from another time, you were
You were.

about
Poets & Peasants Galesburg, Illinois
Like an abandoned child raised by hippies, Poets and Peasants is the product of the tender love of a bunch of poor people with instruments. Comprised of nine multi-instrumentalists and choral singers sown in the Midwestern soil, the group's singable, anthem-like choruses combine with sophisticated arrangements to create a sound that both challenges and inspires. ... more
