The Winter Monsoon

 

 Drifting on a lone cloud

I sing

Of things

Once seen

With

The Sun and Moon

Who

Know my name

For they too

Rise

And set

The world over 

In pain

    

So I dream

Oh 

I dream again

Whispering to them both

O tell of me

O tell of me

Friends

Will I dream alone

Until the end

And into solitude

Descend

Or will wisdom's spirit 

Fly to me

 

So tell me

O tell me

Friends 

Sun and Moon

Will I wander

With this hole

In my endless 

Dark Night 

Of the Soul

Or will my world 

My Great Seal

Hear me

And help me

Heal

So Tell me

O Tell me

Friends

Was all revealed 

From beginning

About the end

When I caught

Her white feather

Spinning

So

Tell me

O tell me 

Elemental Spirits and

Friends

I call to you

Both

O

Sky and Moon

Will I love once more

And open

A new door

To feel what's

Real

In this endless quest

As I try to pass

All tests

Once set

Or will 

Whispers

From Sun and

Moon

Tell me 

To wait

For

She comes

Riding

On waves

Of The Winters

Monsoon

And to still sing

The lost echoes

Of this

 A once-lost

Tune

Called

The Beauty

Who rides

The Waves

Of 

The Winter Monsoon
