I close my eyes and the sun goes out

Hold a breath and all of the creatures fall dead

Cover my ears and the universe goes silent



Not a water drop

Not a heartbeat

Not a sound from a songbird in any of the 4 corners



I swallow the stars until they burn like coals through my eyes

My outline glows against the night sky like an eclipse of the sun

And sparks follow each of my movements like a shower of meteors



I light up the sky with the Aurora



He greets us at death in that quiet place that is faint in our memories

That place that has always been there but we can't quite remember



When you cross that bridge to the other world, open the door and step through

Step through the stars, swim through the gate,

Touch the very boundaries of the universe
