THIS SONG WHICH NEVER ENDS
Such words,
Poetry rare
Exulting reality
Into voice Expression
Into being
Being into form.
From out of ashes
Out of seasons
Years time and reason
And from out of every man
Woman born
Conceived.
All truths shadows And all loves
Destructions and voices
Perceived
Complete and thus returning
Like Angels
Like Gods
Again to tell their stories
Or to tell the tale
The myth, the verse or the prayer
The hymn manifested
Again
For here is your
Hero
Your villain
And your Goddess renewing
The world
And here is your song:
Their song
Our song
All songs
Beginning &
Then ending again
These poems and these words
A dance A waltz
These songs remaining, returning
Like every prophecy foretold in
The past The present & The future
Born from
Every sun
Every star
Every moon
And every daughter
Within every universe
Contained.
For this place, world
Is a universe made up
Of dust & words, language
And resurrections
Hello
Goodbye
Farewell
Love
Death
And sorrows
Vision.
Such words, such voices
Poetry rare
Exulting reality beyond
A human heart
So human, so frail
This song which never ends.
