Kit Kelen #1062 - it's only by singing we're here

1062

it's only by singing we're here

after William Barton

come to the fire

to listen and sing

come among these sands

a voice runs through all things to be

this is the story of how we are here

is it too hot for you to hold?

as the moon is

as the sun

fire is forever a circle

and all in words

by words

no tricks

around around is dance

light casts into itself to go

chase tail to see

sit branches

and join arc to arc

is there anyone here who won't sing?

we come to the fire to learn

that low murmur is the wind

that vast stillness

ash to be

see how we skitter

by little legs or not

roll away into a hole

how we leave these tracks

and then the tracks are gone

this is the story

of who we may be

come to the fire

to learn
