New Light

The sound of breathing, the silence intense

The hearts are pounding, endlessly here

The wind tumbling steadily, traded between us

It becomes a wild and powerful strength

New Light

You took my wind, and gave me your wind

It passes between us, invisible, pure

The patterns in motion, the birds in their forms

The horizon is only a point on the map

New Light

The holy head dressed with feathers, and howling

The mother protects the young, and the worn

The clouded dusk drops, the burning sun cracks

The natural world reinvents itself

And turning the wheel, the iron fears crying

The walls moan and sing as they shift in the wind

The night is a prayer that beckons the dawn

Hopeful and patient for new light to come

New Light
