Women and men moved back and forth
in between effect and cause
and just beyond the range of normal sight
this glittering joker was dancing in the dragon's jaws

     Let me be a little of your breath
     moving over the face of the deep --
     i want to be a particle of your light
     flowing over the hills of morning.

The only sign you gave of who you were
when you first came walking down the road,
was the way the dust motes danced around
your feet in a cloud of gold.

But everything you see's not the way it seems --
tears can sing and joy shed tears.
You can take the wisdom of this world
and give it to the ones who think it all ends here!

     Let me be a little of your breath
     moving over the face of the deep --
     i want to be a particle of your light
     flowing over the hills of morning.
