Saint .Anne's Dreaming
Bound close within their duty
to Saint Anne's shaded dreaming,
sweet phantom maids of beauty
rise up from dark pools,steaming.
Ribbons hold bronze braided hair
and flowing silk gowns streaming.
Moonlight reveals faces fair,
bright cobalt eyes shine gleaming.
Let me dream again
let me love again
let me see again
set me free again
Lithe ballet over water,
each maid swirls,softly beaming.
Choirs of misty nymph daughters
echo the silence screaming.
Their rites of Vernal rejoice
bring primal thought to teeming,
and call from our breast to voice
pale shades of Saint Anne's dreaming.
let me dream again
let me love again
let me see again
set me free again
Drawn slowly to temptation,
surely as day follows night,
you struggle in frustration
with emotions you can't fight.
Saint Anne's vision is revealed
with a joy bordered on fright,
yet no heart remains concealed
once it's flooded with her light.
let me dream again
let me love again
let me see again
set me free again
While her phantom daughters sing,
with an eerie silent might,
your mind swims and your ears ring
as her enchantment draws tight.
You can't escape the meaning
or the purpose of her rite,
for Saint Anne's shaded dreaming
is the forge of the love-wright.
let me dream again
let me love again
let me see again
set me free again
* SPECIAL NOTES ON THE VIDEO
Surreal images produced using infrared filters, Vegas 8 Filters, and in-camera effect.
In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 900 nm. Usually an "infrared filter" is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum (the filter thus looks black or deep red).
