Remembering ¨Into White¨ by Cat Stevens

Barley House. Digital art by Myriam B. Mahiques

I like Cat Stevens´ old songs, but I´m not crazy about them, except for this one -Into White- that tells us about a mystic house:

I built my house from barley rice

Green pepper walls and water ice

Tables of paper wood, windows of light

And everything emptying into white.

A simple garden, with acres of sky

A Brown-haired dogmouse

If one dropped by

Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night

With everything emptying into white.

A sad Blue eyed drummer rehearses outside

A Black spider dancing on top of his eye

Red legged chicken stands ready to strike

And everything emptying into white.

I built my house from barley rice

Green pepper walls and water ice

And everything emptying into white
