No One There.

c2011 (S)


Soft fingers tug at my heartstrings

A voice in the night, inside of my head

I turn, and there is no one there.

***

Doigts douce tirant à mes sentiments.

Une voix dans la nuit, à l'intérieur de ma tête.

Je passe, et il n'y a nul il.

Stone, bark, feather

c2011 (S)


I paddled upon a great river

Stepping ashore, casting aside my burden

You were there to greet me

Do you recall that day?

Do you remember what you said that day?

That was the day you gave me a stone,

And a feather, and a piece of birchbark

I thank you for your words and your gifts

They come straight from the heart

That's all I was really looking for.

Prophecy.

c2011 (S)


With deadly malice and unerring aim

The slender bolt, its point touched with flame

Into the thatch, so carelessly flown

The hand is revealed, the face still unknown

And the raging flames by the strong winds are blown

Out of the smoke, straight through the pyre

An apparition, he steps from the fire

His armour bright, the blade strong and true...

Lo and behold, from his ashes and his dust

The Phoenix arises, as surely he must--

Surely he knows thee, and the flavour of your mind

For you always come back, and when it is time

He will make short work, of you and your kind.
