Spirits run silent
Through a sea of reeds
A reflection of the future
Cloaked in flowing memory
A lesson in impermanence I long to ignore
A gentle reminder of the pain endured
The dawn creeps forward
And I am forced to reconcile
As the currents of time flow onward
And blur the lines of love and death
She calls my name
An echo within my soul
A final reminder
Of beauty wrought in spirits sown
The wind sings soft
A song of death
Departs her lips
On nature's breath
I lay my knife
On sacred ground
I bow my head
By honor bound
Ignite the flame
Of burning fate
To live and die
A sacred way
She breathes me in
And spits me out
To give the gift
Of nature's spell
My eyes they settle
On the coming dawn
And I give myself
To her sweet song
Fated
To leave in silence
Racing the coming dawn
The seeds sown in times of death
Blossom into the heaviest of hearts
The greatest test of all
Learning to let go
Of the love that lights the flame
Of sadness within our hearts
The wind sings soft
A song of death
Departs her lips
On nature's breath
My eyes they settle
On the coming dawn
And I give myself
To her sweet song
