A Moon Falls
A moon falls and is gone
The sand streches
in seas before me
The rolling desert waves
I sink in delerium
I drink of the sun
Let its fiery temperment
Soothe me
I burn with a dream
All exile is freedom
If one can only live through it
Let the flames consume
Convert into ash
Let the winds scatter each alone
There is much still unknown
But, yet, wrapped in stranger¹s guise,
I know you, I knew you
Each solitary footstep
Sends ripples in the sand
A pebble rolls, turns avalanche
To destroy or create at will
The desert wind erases my past
To the future I walk blind
A moon falls and is gone
Untrod footsteps stretch before me
The rolling desert waves
Such joy and pain
In undulating swing
I divine and choose
I offer myself, body and soul, again
I invent myself whole again
I chart the endless sands
Navigate by inner star
I may choose
And in choosing, go far
I burn with a dream.
