I see you all - from the street where I lay, 
shot through with a roaring thunder- 
still it sounds far away. 
Heart pale as the moon, body thin as the wind, 
remove me, the dust on your windowpane. 
What is my name but a sign on a wall? 
No time for fear or anger, no answer when I call. 
I rise like smoke to the sun, erase the light like a cloud. 
Disturb me, the ash beneath your feet. 
Now tomorrow's too late for me 
In the 9th moon of the year. 
Set a course to a blinding sun with sails afire. 
If I asked you to wait for me, the wind is all you'd hear. 
I am nowhere and everywhere and I wait for ever. 
I heard it all, while the Summer turned to Fall. 
Heard you cry out in blind confusion 
at the foot of the castle wall. 
I reach for your hand through the fire 
while silence explodes into light, 
cold as the stones beneath your feet.
