Alea

It all laid out crystal and wide open Felt like a new horizon With one hand in the stars No wavering to abound Vigor and belief were rising All peril faced, lance high towards a glaring sky off to a new horizon And all shades that might have been Dissolve in breezes on the wane Headlong! For this has only just begun. Went to the sea and ran up the hills Wandered shores and stood still Swam in lakes and drowned in oceans Only to find. Came to see that it all laid here A seed within longing to thrive Came to hear a whisper in the wind Die is cast, no wavering. And I weep in the summer wind Arms wide open ready to dive And I weep in the summer wind Arms wide open ready to dive And the waves took it all astray All promises that I kept in bay Let them go, linger here and lay In wind and sand a faint portrait And I weep in the summer wind Arms wide open ready to dive And I sing in the summer wind Arms wide open ready to dive
