Alea

It all laid out crystal and wide open
Felt like a new horizon
With one hand in the stars
No wavering to abound
Vigor and belief were rising

All peril faced, lance high towards a glaring sky
Off to a new horizon

And all shades that might have been
Dissolve in breezes on the wane
Headlong! For this has only just begun

Went to the sea and ran up the hills
Wandered shores and stood still
Swam in lakes and drowned in oceans
Only to find

Came to see that it all laid here
A seed within longing to thrive
Came to hear a whisper in the wind
Die is cast, no wavering

And I weep in the summer wind
Arms wide open ready to dive
And I weep in the summer wind
Arms wide open ready to dive

And the waves took it all astray
All promises that I kept in bay
Let them go, linger here and lay
In wind and sand a faint portrait

And I weep in the summer wind
Arms wide open ready to dive
And I sing in the summer wind
Arms wide open ready to dive
