about

I had a crush on a young man who was leaving Sydney to do some traveling in Europe. I was feeling wistful one day, sitting on the pier in Balmain, where Cleo and I lived, and this came out. This was during the time of my life when I believed in The Rapture.

lyrics

Branches bearing fruit of wispy purple sighs,
Flowers wafting temple incense,
Mottled grey-blue skies
Sifted through a misty wisteria veil.
Even beer cans polluting the harbor
Are clumsy ships learning how to sail.

The whole of creation
Awaits liberation
And quivers excited in anticipation
For the day when trees will clap their hands
And rocks will sing for joy.

Ferries sort of accidentally moving on their way
Make a trail of sparkle snail tracks
Wrapping 'round the bay.
Clouds unfurl a lightning flash
Of heaven's blinding glow.
The colors of butterflies, sunsets, and flowers
Are all mirrored in the rainbow.

I look with elation
And praise at creation
And wait for the dawn of the great liberation
When every tongue confesses Love
And every knee shall bow.
Is it selfish to ask you to take my hand
And become the cause of a celebration?

about

Megan Sue Hicks Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In my teens and twenties I wanted to be a rich and famous singer-songwriter. In my 30s I wanted to be a rich and famous bestselling novelist. In my late 30's I discovered that what I really am is a storyteller, and that's how I've been making my way in the world for the past many years.
