Because You Were There
The earth, the moon, the Milky Way —
None of them have any light,
No light at all.
The bright, creation-scented girl
Is no longer well,
No longer well.
The sea, the mirage, or the emerald isle —
No one’s eyes hold sleep,
No sleep at all.
Because you were there, I’m digging a pond;
Become a deep river of the heart,
Be that river.
Because you were there, I’m breaking the mountain;
Become a white-gold waterfall,
Be that waterfall.
Because you were there, I’m kindling a fire;
Become the dawn and gift me dreams,
Gift me dreams.
