Can we wash away the darkness
of our long winter’s night?
of our long winter’s night?
Fitful sleep cannot shut out
the sounds of blowing wind
and flowing water.
the sounds of blowing wind
and flowing water.
These dream-works quicken clarity
toward an apprehension
that serenity is close at hand.
toward an apprehension
that serenity is close at hand.
Dawn must give birth to new day;
new life will be revealed in its light.
new life will be revealed in its light.
