Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in amber light,
Cicadas hum a fading night.
Wooden planks beneath the breeze,
Counting shadows through the trees.
Calico ghost, a velvet paw,
Observing rhythms, law by law.
Each footfall echoes, soft and low,
*Felidae nocturna*, watch them go.
One step, two steps, time unfolds,
Stories whispered, centuries old.
Bayou breathing, slow and deep,
Secrets that the wetlands keep.
Copper eyes on passing shoes,
Gathering data, subtle clues.
A human cadence, swift and free,
*Ambrosia artemisiifolia* for me.
One step, two steps, time unfolds,
Stories whispered, centuries old.
Bayou breathing, slow and deep,
Secrets that the wetlands keep.
Sun-bleached wood, a weathered gray,
Watching sunlight slip away.
The scent of jasmine fills the air,
A silent witness, beyond compare.
One step, two steps, time unfolds,
Stories whispered, centuries old.
Bayou breathing, slow and deep,
Secrets that the wetlands keep.
Rooted stillness, patient grace,
Understanding time and space.
The rhythm pulses, soft and true,
Connecting me to me and you.
A feline focus, calm and bright,
Observing passage into night.
Shadow figures, come and gone,
Each impression lingers on.
*Taxodium distichum* stands so tall,
Hearing echoes of them all.
One step, two steps, time unfolds,
Stories whispered, centuries old.
Bayou breathing, slow and deep,
Secrets that the wetlands keep.
Footsteps fading, hushed and mild,
Bayou dreaming, nature's child.
Calico watches, still and serene,
Counting steps in the dusk between.
Dust motes dance, a golden hue,
Bayou footsteps, just for you.
