Her look was warm as summer dawn

there was a lightness as she stepped

as if the ground was almost a cloud

her beauty a casual dream sun-swept

 

the last time I saw her she sang

a song of stream and swelling hills

the sky alive to her lilting melody

backed by a covey of whippoorwills

 

her classroom moves were unworldly

star clusters in harmonic tones

wonders performed uncommonly

 

she’s on her way to full release

solid witnesses to her teachings

stand by with glances into clarity

her mind romps - it’s far-reaching

 

her classroom moves were unworldly

star clusters in harmonic tones

wonders performed uncommonly

 

all through this lonesome night

I’ve heard cries from the forest

her absence pervades in silence

a wind starts up out of the west

 

her classroom moves were unworldly

star clusters in harmonic tones

wonders performed uncommonly

I like this a lot. Really dreamy feeling in those opening verses. Put an image straight in my mind.

So is she a teacher? That's how I was interpreting "Her classroom moves..."

Yah - a teacher and performer - pleased you like it.

In your Alabama drenched Robert Johnson feel

Sounds good man

@RCJames lovely lady, lovely song. I really like that she's unworldly; I suppose the listener can take that their own way. I take it as she was a God fearing righteous lady. I could be wrong but that's what your song says to me. A real beauty. You say the 'last time I saw her'. Is she still with us? or has she passed away? I'm taking 'full release' as she's passed away. If so, may she be resting in peace.

Beautiful witness in song to a lovely lady,
