The Hollow Hills (Starry Heart)

from The Kiss of Spirit and Flesh by Leafblade

/

about

And so memory
Becomes the Land,
By the roots’ own story
Churned, awoken, to stand,
Or haunt at bay the old wood,
Thrill the dreams of Shaman’s Blood,
Sleeping in the Hollow Hills.

From "Landscape and Memory"
(“Waiting for Autumn”, 2005, by Sean Jude)

lyrics

I’ve ran with the wind now;
I’ve danced with the stream;
I’ve listened to mountains,
The depths of the dream.

Through the doors of the Great Night,
I’ve leapt to the fray,
To the wilderness inside,
To the Infinite Day,

And there found communing
With our own titan blood,
Memory feeding,
The Songs of the Wood!

And if I find that all is naught, in truth I’ll smile -
Just where I’ll go I cannot know, so think awhile;
In light I walk, am slow to talk, so look inside:
There see the place of timeless space…
The Starry Heart.

I’ve caught all the stars now,
The weight of the leaves;
Breathed in the moonlight,
Child of the Eaves;

I’ve swam with the old roots
Deep in earthly still;
Played the songs of old now,
Through the Hollow Hills;

And If I find that all is naught, in truth I’ll smile -
Just where I’ll go I cannot know, so think awhile,
In light I walk, am slow to talk, so look inside:
There see the place of timeless space…
The Starry Heart.
