She embraced the absurdly impossible moment of her life
And she stretched out her arms and soaked in the star that brought her to life
She looked down upon the rest
The narrow-minded
The small eyes
The old knowledge
The ancient fear

She soared above them and the wind filled her

I saw her the first time when I was young
And I did not know if it was a dream
Or the brief memory of one

And in that dream my legs gave way
When you do not know the strength to run
Or the strength to walk

I do not remember what she wore but I knew her then
The shape rolling from her eyes to her lips
Made every good and true feeling I had towards love

And she looked at me through the eternal population…

Then I knew no time
I did not know its passing or its changing
And I did not know its destruction

And when I am asleep so that I may see her again
And when she comes to me when my eyes close
She touches her cheek to mine and whispers

"Good night and sleep then
Let us now know love while we can
Here where time stops for us
Where there is no memory and where there is no fear
And here where I will always love you
Until I wake you in the morning"

In the winter our giants would come
In our end they would walk by our side
And with reason they spoke us to being
A perfection no chance could conceive
Through them we march on forever
And it is us only that they love

They turn our fear into evil which all men must hate
And what we love they make good for all to obtain
Our confusion is their path
And we breath life from their lungs
And without them our breath
Would be pushed out a last time

It is then that we need them
And towards that which all men must face
Some face it alone
And some face it too quickly
And others without any thought
But we will face it with our giants

And when it is upon us and we wait for them
We will look up and see for the first time
Past the place our giants stood
And into our creator’s eyes
The beautiful dust from which we came
And into which we will find our peace
