MOUNTAIN WINDS

HELLO I AM HERE, YES HERE,

I AM A TINY , MINISCULE SPECK OF LIGHT,

THAT HAS TRAVELLED THROUGH TIME AND SPACE

TO ARRIVE AND NESTLE IN YOUR HEART,

ONLY TO BE IGNITED BY A THIRTY FIVE YEAR OLD SPARK                          

THAT WAS LAYING DORMANT AND CWTCHED IN OUR SOULS

THE CARESSING BREEZE FANS THE SPARK

AND A SMALL WHITE WHISPER OF SMOKE RISES

TO A FLARED NOSTRIL,

THE VISION FANNING THE FLAME, A FLAME OF HOPE,

LOVE AND BIRTH ANEW, LIKE SNAKES

WE SHED OLD WRINKLED SKINS AND GROW

NEW FRESH ONES TO WARM OUR BLOOD

MOUNTAIN WINDS COLLECT UNDER

THE WINGS OF RED KITES RISING THEM UPWARDS

TO LOFTIER HEIGHTS TO HAVE THE EYE'S OF THE LORD 

TO SEE THROUGH, AND THE SAME WINDS LIFT OUR HEARTS

IN THE SAME WAY LEAVING THEM BOUYED

AND FLOATING ON THE ETHEREAL THERMS

WHEN ALL DIES DOWN AND IS PEACEFUL

WE WILL TOGETHER COLLECT THE DUST OF THIRTY FIVE YEARS

IN GLASS VESSELS LIKE GOLD AND SPRINKLE IT OVER OUR FUTURE
