You are the sun and the clouds that hide it;
You are the night and the stars that light it;
You are the storm and the calm before it;
You are the ice and the fire that melts it.

You are the sky and the trees below it;
You are the earth and the hills upon it;
You are the sea and the dawn beyond it;
You are the gale and the leaves within it.

But I am a sparrow that seeks for your rays;
Your Polaris guides my solitary ways.
And I am a raindrop that falls to the ground -
Like the frost that fades, with barely a sound.

From the forest floor, I look up at the blue
And walk beneath canopies dripping with dew.
I’m leaving this place and waving goodbye
I’ll never reach you, but at least I can try.
