Among the shadows of our past
Among the shadows of our past
Open amid its opening
we walk among the shadows of our past
Among the new beginnings
Lifting as to a place anew
Flowers cling in clefts undone
In the marbled stones
Vacated places find their nich
In the cavity of open dreams
Music comes among our lives
In this light on its edge
Growing forward toward its end
Make their patterns through
The blinding of the sun
