Nos cris perdus dans le vent
qui comme le temps file ;
Nos ripostes dissipées dans la brume
des souvenirs évanouis ;

L’histoire se répète malgré les présages ;
Nul n’a su faire marche en pas chassés.

La jeunesse dans l’élan de son ignorance,
La sagesse dans la mollesse de ses membres;
Nos leçons sont diffuses et égarées -
Nous n’apprenons pas même à la dure
cette notion des cycles trop répétés.
Même de cette vue depuis la cime,
Les doigts de nos poings demeurent liés.

Et comme nos cris perdus dans le vent
qui comme le temps file,
Nous dirons que nous vécûmes alors
Ce qu’aujourd’hui ne saurait décrire.
Que nous regardons le monde désormais
D'un regard que l'on n'aurait pas su nous prédire.

Nous ne sommes pas les mêmes;
Ces cris furent un murmure hélas perdu à jamais,
Qui nous revient en langage des signes,
Qui nous étourdit comme un reflet,
Mais qui trouve écho et retentira
Dans l'innocence que l'on précède.

It happens with all the holes and wounds: they grow their own face, mend their gap, heal their rifts - those new skills of yours are but entities that emerge: to give shelter, to stand guard, replace the old, thicken the crust, weather this human storm - through and through.

But will the skin ever return to its soil? It linger on forevermore.
How tight is its grip? How hardened its sappy brooks? When will it nourish those delicate roots anew?

These thoughts arise as doubt breaks free. It pours and flows as I gaze down and lower still. Shadows seep and leak as the wheel spins and drills the soul evermore hollow. Anonymous is our tree of life, but it keeps faces in store.

For it happens with all the holes and wounds: they bleed, they mend, they heal - and what don't they do as I stand here, as I bend, as I kneel - as I carve their seats in shapes of departure. These skills thicken under my feet like growling tremors.

My past was but a dream - ready to slide and crumble like a leaf.
My weariness is universal. My knowledge, heavy. There cannot be a conclusion. I am growing thin.

Let me feed those roots anew.

Paved roads of cars that roam
Are sure to grow weary on my bones.
And there’s a high hill close to home
Onto which I seldom venture alone.
How I recall those many days of yore
When we’d go fresh out in the morn;
And up that hill now far across the globe
Would stare for short eons into the fog.

Oh I see it all too clear
How we fail to name life
In motions of escape
By the dictates of fear

With the wind on my face,
I'm walking home.
I'm walking home
On my own,
On my own.

How to explain (non)sense
With(out) common sense?
Just/not like that.

If you walk, you slip
If you stop, you stall
If you touch, you stick
If you drop, you fall

In the eternal,
In the eternal now.

If you give, you take
If you kneel, you bow
If you dream, you wake,
If you seek, you doubt,

And when night shadows blend
With the light of the dawn
Remember to forget
That you've come to depart

In the eternal,
In the eternal now.
