Thrawsunblat - The Weathered Sandstone

Lyrics to The Weathered Sandstone by Thrawsunblat

A weathered sandstone Marks the trailhead Too burdensome by far To be borne alone It was set by many hands Many years ago This centuried inheritance Mystery’s whispers on the wind Any wisdom worth its eminence Will turn to dust at the brazen word I guard time for the thread emerald Against these brazen acquisitive times All around me the perennial Trappings of anxious minds I keep time with the pulse emerald Amidst these towering pines As I walk I dream lyrical I see and I see just beyond I guard time for the thread emerald Against these brazen acquisitive times I keep time with the pulse emerald Amidst these towering pines All along now, on my journey Introspective mistwise turnings Not from anger or from sorrow But in wonder at the sandstone And I wonder at The planters of these towering hemlock And I wonder at Who placed this stone And I wonder at Gifts bestowed upon a century later And what many forms my gratitude my take A weathered sandstone Marks the trailhead Too burdensome by far To be borne alone It was set by many hands Many years ago The path bursts out of the trees Into a vast sweeping valley beneath On this day, the welkin sings Its words clouded, fresh in the wind Experienced rather than heard And understood all the more deeply
