new light

Singer:great lake swimmers

the sound of breathing

the silence intense

the hearts are pounding

endlessly here

the wind tumbling steadily

traded between us

it becomes a wild and powerful strength

new light

you took my wind

and gave me your wind

it passes between us

invisible

pure

the patterns in motion

the birds in their forms

the horizon is only a point on the map

new light

the holy head dressed with feathers

and howling

the mother protects the young

and the worn

the clouded dusk drops

the burning sun cracks

the natural world reinvents itself

and turning the wheel

the iron fears crying

the walls moan and sing as they shift in the wind

the night is a prayer that beckons the dawn

hopeful and patient for new light to come

new light
