Arising fallen
24 November 2013
In every green leaf I see your face
Remembrance of forgotten grace
In every lost moment every ripple
Wings vanished, a walking cripple
Heaving with the renewed anguish
Of the loss of yonder soaring relish
Eyes born into an unseeing world
But as the body turned and swirled
Glimpses of a long forgotten past
Stilled in heart rhythm stirred fast
A waking of my senses brought
A world within that heart forgot
It is of you yet heeds not thy course
Sucking in reminders of thy source
Ten thousand years swirled and flew
Memories of you that we once knew
In darkness of secret lay hidden deep
As Millennium lulled the soul to sleep
I hear your words, ten thunders’ voice
Let us now in our stilled hearts rejoice
For as it plays your own wondrous part
With soulless yet with good student art
They wake and see from you the form
Of it the treachery guileless, difform
