Carol of Birds

Oh mountains, oh oceans,
Through paths untraveled you speak a tongue
Of black dirt and bleak earth,
What lies untroubled in my heart

Loud and clear,
Like a song from my heart before it dies

Rise after rise it changes form
Time after time, from yearn to love
Just like a blackberry plucked through the mist
From all the briers wrapping on my skin

My eyes no more see
My mind no more thinks
My hands no more grab
I'm less, but less
Sounds to me loud and clear

The rest feels to me
Like in shadows, like in dreams
The rest feels to me
Not like your rumbles, they sound so

Loud and clear,
Like a song from my heart before it dies

Loud and clear,
Right from my heart

Straight from my heart
Like the carol of birds
Back straight to my heart
