When the dark wood fell before meAnd all the paths were overgrownWhen the priests of pride say there is no other wayI tilled the sorrows of stone
I did not believe because I could not seeThough you came to me in the nightWhen the dawn seemed forever lostYou showed me your love in the light of the stars
Cast your eyes on the oceanCast your soul to the seaWhen the dark night seems endlessPlease remember me
Then the mountain rose before meBy the deep well of desireFrom the fountain of forgivenessBeyond the ice and the fire
Cast your eyes on the oceanCast your soul to the seaWhen the dark night seems endlessPlease remember me
Though we share this humble path, aloneHow fragile is the heartOh give these clay feet wings to flyTo touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heartLift this mortal veil of fearTake these crumbled hopes, etched with tearsWe'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the oceanCast your soul to the seaWhen the dark night seems endlessPlease remember me
MAY ALL LOVE BECOME YOU, MAY ALL SORROWS CEASE!

In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming. These threads of silence and sound are letters from the threshold, offerings from the edge of stillness. Nigel TEA AND ZEN - MAIN LIBRARY
