We heard those breezes
Tear the palmy leaf
We felt those soft night waves
Slip slowly upon the beaches
We stole whispers in shadows
The moon our confessor and the stars
Our witnesses
The moment and the moment alone
This instant and this instant alone
All that is observed and all that is hidden
heart shall forgive
moon will absolve
The love of the moment is the greatest of all
she must withstand the furies of a thousand thoughts
Hurled in anger and couched in stone
It must hold firm as the eye pa**es and the maelstrom returns.
As time devours its resigned offering
Time shall pa**
And time shall return
The moment is lost
And the moment must be reclaimed.
“A horizon at night is lost at its edge
We must feel for its geometry
Lest we fall of the ledge.
A star will guide us
Said the king and the seer
A star will take us
To all that is dear
Yet the path is made
In the travel of its stones
And the destiny it holds
Will be seen in its bones
