Cave Reef Sings

I have watched it rise up like a flame
Watched for where it came like curtains, hide the cave
Hung up in the tree, save for the moment, it was slit from inside and born again
Detriment gives chase, and cliff makes haste
On a view quit flapping
Afterwards, we hear the birds quit flapping

Duplicates through face were shown
Out in the shallows, we hear a wailing moan
The peak is ours today, we know the sand is ours alone
Cave reef sings for many things
Cave reef sings for many things
In the caption, there beneath the pencil drawing
Scratched into things, the bat wings sweeping
And the groomed gray flocks, and out to find your south
Comes back to life, comes back to shell

In the corridor made up of tiny lights
Our island waits, filled in with light
In your belly holds a place where water waits
Our forest trunks and shady leaves
