the Fox Song

about

When Ted met his half-brother for the first time, a few decades into their lives, a book exchanged hands called The Dream Hunters, by Neil Gaiman. That book contained a fox and a love story, both of which ran off the pages and into song, travelling between the two through a parallel quatriphonic dimentionagraphonimer which spontaneously stripped the characters and story of any legally binding, relational, or copyright-infringing qualities to the original story. Suffice to say - the song is not ::about:: The Dream Hunters, but the inspiration for the book and the song likely shared a womb in some realm of the Deep.

lyrics

“In dreams, love, I’ve come to find you.” In time out of mind a fox fell beneath the moon and cried, “My love has wandered lost! What help, what hope, can I offer?” And the moon, quiet, crescent, replied, “Follow him there.” But deep inside the fox’s worried heart held doubt. “What path can bring me to him? What hope, what light, will lead us from there?” And the moon, wide and full, replied, “I will ride in your eyes through dreams.” So down she crawled and through she crawled and in she crawled to her lover’s bed. She lay, she slept. In dreams she leapt to find her love with light in her eyes. Through dark desert she followed his trail. Through bog she traced his scent. Through canyons did she seek him. And walls of blackest fear - they crowded her trail. And the moon - shining through her eyes. She found her love huddled in fear. She stood before him and cried, “Open your eyes!”
