leaving our homes of light
we wove from the darkness, stars,
a thimble sized moon,
oblivious waters
and afternoons of the steel grey skies
melting to pearl
until the angel came to us and said
her Christmas trumpet flaring
learn to build the world anew
from few colours
from the trace of what you remember
and kindle from the days
that passed away
an indestructible song.
an indestructible song.
