- The Way of One
The Crane and The Oak Tree
ballad for a Jedi
look at those stars
you said
they have been here
long before we knew
the feel of fire
the moon
the rain
before we knew
the names of trees
taste of earth
mysteries of water
and the dangers
of being alive
there they are
still
when all have been revealed
by the blood
of our wild and amorous veins
flowering in the darkness
till the end of time
cœur d’airain
If I had
a heart of brass
of iron, of stone or broken stars
would I
still hear
the voice of grass
of water, of night
and the silence
of your distant sky
if I had listened
to the winter, the trees and their shadow of bones
I would still
journey
upon this solitary shore
you were and will always be
voice of tree, of wings and empty sky
dark joy of water in the late summer rush
when morning arrives blooming with wind
the river listens to all echos
bella figura
between spring and summer
the fields would rise
reaching further and further
into the woods
the sky
often cloudless
lowers its wings
towards earth
the color of shadows
of new born trees
when dusk descends
echoing of slender waters
running over stones of fire and ash
towards altars
of feather and bone
long since burried
beneath the rain
silence
by these moonless shores
I may have seen
in dreams
and the emptiness of sky
your journey in the dunes
the world
without walls
nor companion
where those long lost stars
go on
casting their shimmering nets
upon the path
of your solitary hunt
late in the night
between dreams of rivers and winter grass
you remembered
giant skies touched by snow
lightness and shadow
on the edge of solitary sails
in the smallest hour of the morning
between dreams
and silent sleep
you would smile and turn to me
beneath stars
we can not see
t
when it rained
you went acrossed the fields
to be free again
away
to the trees again
follwed by a grey and transparent sky
no one is waiting
or listening
to be with you again
away
to the trees
the moon is a harsh mistress
slowly
we walked
the night was quieter still
shadows followed silently
you looked out to the sea
waves and wind and all the things I did not know
slowly
we walked
there must have been stars
somewhere
in the sky
