The Longest Wave

Freezing, melting, freezing Losing, finding, seeking Coiling this endless string To never face the spring No past and no future Only crippled circles of nature Limping through slush and spleen All diluted and dull and clean Birds fly backwards Beast vomits prey Every scale is bursting A seed made of clay A sun is pale and weak A moon is ablaze A tide is turning I do not know my face See the blossoming flowers and the frost See the useless birth and loss See the snow so dark and gray Light the night, kill the day I try to find the world through this pane I see myself and I feel the pain Veiled reflections to undergo The face of Prometheus I now know The longest wave Is this walk Between the light And the shadow The longest wave Is this walk Between the light And the shadow
