You will not find me If I go in ashes, earth or stone Nor yellowed photos Etched by teardrops Memories die And summer's flowers Shrivel in the cold My spirit will not linger on In objects, clothing, art or home But I will be safe where mountains Catch the sea Look for me Where salt and snow are mingling Where the forget-me-nots and purple gentians Drink the sea Life flows like water Roots grow together Like seeds hearts harden Like flowers soon open Youth plays in shallows Man swims through deep channels Where waters meet And when the evening tide flows in We'll drown the sea thrift in the brine And we'll dance where mountains March to sea
