Beside the fig tree

You left your brass cup by the well A ring of water held the sky I heard the goats come down the hill And watched the red dust settle dry Your blue scarf caught against the thorn I freed the cloth and held it near The path was quiet after dawn Your name was easy to hear Come, sit beside the fig tree Tell me where the river bends Come, sit beside the fig tree Let the long road find its end The baker marked the morning bread With sesame and a careful thumb Your mother called from the open door The evening meal was almost done The hills turn copper, then turn brown The water jars are cool and full I keep your place when dusk comes down And leave the courtyard gate unpulled Come, sit beside the fig tree Tell me where the river bends Come, sit beside the fig tree Let the long road find its end If you arrive with rain upon you If you arrive with years gone by There is a lamp beside the doorway There is bread, and there is time Come, sit beside the fig tree Tell me where the river bends Come, sit beside the fig tree Let the long road find its end Let the long road find its end The brass cup waits beside the well The fig leaves stir the night is still 🎵 Inspired from Settlers pc game (dont ask how or why) and from the song "the hanging tree" (Hunger games movie ...) with ai help ⁨@evinacast⁩
