Chapter 117 - Secret
Do you hear that bell
Ringing in the distance
Loud, like a gong
Listen, does it linger
As waves upon the shore
Sound of angels wings
Free, strong, light
Perhaps the shadow
On the wall
As it does dance
Hears this bell in silence
But it does not disturb
The moon upon the way
As it travels its silver path
Across the bridge of gold
Invisible though it is
It sounds of promise and truth
No pain does it hold
It soothes and restores
As rain flowing over hands
New, full of heart
A kiss in the night
A gentle wind upon the window
A soft touch from the master
A tremble over time
A rush&then it fades
Pray, does it flow
This river of gray
So sweet, so dark
A pure star in the depths
Of the sky
Embrace and forgive
Answer to these words
Cloud over these eyes
Know now and forever
Near to the end
Caste off thy cover
Receive thy soul
Surrender strength
To the flame
And give it to the dragon
A gift to thy rest
And a gate to thy praise
Low, what does thy prove
In thy frail tide
Old as thy are
Misty with power
Birds taste thy fruit
Call to the open
And fall to the grass
Feet dig and split
And again born away
And still does that bell shiver
Still sing upon wings
Following a jingle tap
Endure the pattern
Collect thy sparks
Create this road
Red, green, blue&
But then you were let go
And low, I break
My anchor failed
Consumed by mist, fire
And shake now, atoms powder
Hard to stay afloat
Possible to grow, nay
And so I say to thee
Thy died as only a loon
With thy bag upon thy shoulder
Just off from cricket
Blessed not to be punished
A loaf in thys pocket
A leaf in thys hair
And only by chance of zig
Did this ever become mine secret.
