World of Wonders  - Bruce Cockburn

    stand on a bridge before the cavern of night
    darkness alive with possibility
    nose to this wind full of twinkling lights
    trying to catch the scent of what's coming to be  (in this...)

         world of wonders...

    somewhere a saxophone slides through changes
    like a wet pipe dripping down my neck
    gives me a chill -- sounds like danger
    but i can't stop moving till i cross this sector  (of this...)

         world of wonders...

    there's a rainbow shining in a bead of spittle
    falling diamonds in rattling rain
    light flexed on moving muscle
    i stand here dazzled with my heart in flames  (at this...)

         world of wonders...

    moment of peace like brief arctic bloom
    red/gold ripple of the sun going down
    line of black hills makes my bed
    sky full of love pulled over my head

         world of wonders...

    (TORONTO, 6/85)
