I know the distance from the stars
The wisdom of the sky
The determination of the redwood and
The coaxing of the night
I see the purity in your snows
The solitude in your groves
The saltsweet taste of your ocean lips
The offbeat rhythm of your crashing waves
I can feel you within and without me
Aching as I am to be free
I can hear your thunder beckoning
See you crackle with electricity
I know the distance from the heart
The wisdom of my scars
The determination of my passion and
The coaxing of my soul
I see the blossom unfold into her evening dress
I see the canopy open to let the sun in
I hear the restlessness in your song
Yet know you'll not stop singing it
I can feel the fall coming
Watch the leaves put on their funeral best
I know we'll not stop running
Til we collide again, in the heart of this forest
I know the distance from the stars
From the echoes of each wish you've given them
From the time it took their call
To reach my ears, and plead for me
To speak for them.
