I want to paddle away in a canoe,
silently gliding over water
find myself in some mountain, some open field
lay my head on the grass; hear earth speak
why
so quietly this heart weeps;
whispers things to me,
that I cannot fix; cannot help
?
self-discovery in another's
arms; holding. shelter.
(from)
This age, these centuries - storm.
Rain.
(desperate heart, sullenly calls for The Flood;
let the earth start again
let her... breathe)
In his arms,
she stirs.
Hears the sound of water lapping at the shore;
heart softens.
Forgive them father; they know not what they do.
She breathes.
