How Dare

How dare you wake the golden sparrow's shout

when you laid up in the turnabout

Smuckering a solid air affair

when he was sitting, calling out to you there.

Did not you hear the mountain move, 

when you were ear pressed to the pillow

dreaming of your dimmest light removed

and the sunshine is replaced with moon glow.

The day will dawn and you will shout again

another song of the composer's lute

grinning in your heart with focused eyes

as you answer the call of the shiny flute.
