Cumulus the eagle poet has some words of wisdom as he glides

lyrics

Cumulus the Eagle Poet

High in the blue sky Cumulus glides by mountains.
Covered in trees and dotted with stone fountains.
He's a bald eagle but covered in feathers.
He's like a bright lighthouse in strormy weather.

Now in the night sky Cumulus glides by amusement park rides,
but he needs no rollercoaster action, his aerial poems are a main attraction.

He's a poet and he knows it, writing words that show
It's his gift for describing beauty.
Think about what you see, observe it all carefully
and write a poem about it all.

Now in a cloud puff his gossamer down ruffles slightly
Through the white turbulent sounds he floats lightly
Underneath a cloud cover he decides to just hover.
He surveys the land like a hand touching a lover.
Sharp as a sword blade his eyes moved towards shade
where a contented camel caravan parade is quietly resting.
Sultans and scientists appear to be quietly praying
while a wise old camel can be heard calmly saying:

Think about what you see, observe the world thoughtfully
and put words to it now.
Yes, ponder what you see and study it all thoughtfully
And write a poem about it all.

The men all around him nod and expound with their theories
They think about the drink so much that they get teary.
They don't understand that Samsara demands first seeing.
They just want to savor a yummy drink flavor each evening.

Think about what you see, look at it all carefully
And write a poem about it all.
Yes, ponder what you see. Study it all thoughtfully
And put words to it all. And write a poem about it all.
Put words to it now.

I wrote this album years ago for my niece and nephew, wanted to get it out into the world, so I made this page and did some illustrations.
