FALLING INTO THE FIELD OF TIME

FALLING INTO THE FIELD OF TIME

From the edge of the boat 
We could see the stars
Reflected in the water.  We knew the
Many names of the moon and sang
To the fishes there below, the ones
Who swallowed stars and dreamed
The night sky beneath the sea.
The fish believe we are their rapture
As we sing.  We believe the fish
To be gems of priceless value,
Wandering through the mind,
Bearing the names of the seas.

That night we slept on deck
Listening to the wind and waves
Tell stories of fire on
Islands so far away that one
Can but learn their names,
To visit these places is simply
Not possible in a single lifetime.

When dawn came we could no longer 
Tell if we were male or female.
Deer gather at our feet.  We
Feed them from bowls.  We see
Death with its flocks of birds
Wheel and circle overhead.
We decide to make music forever.
We dance and sail on.
