White Sun

The sun is white tonight

Tomorrow it will be red and bright in ardent stillness

An ocean wave is welcoming

Yet it is carrying all of my sins and all of my troubles

Hey hey where were they hiding

The seabirds that return in the summer tide?

Hey hey where were they hiding

All my loving, giving, receiving?

When they’re back, I’ll continue my straying

There are no days, there never is night

In the icy lands of eternal, ceaseless calmness

How many until you’ll stand here

Sharing the weightlessness of the island’s intense wonders?

Hush now, soon they will fly in

The tern that I left with my reverie

Hush now, there’s one that is crying

Both its wings bear other birds’ sorrows

When they’re back, I’ll continue my straying

The sun is white and steadily bright

In the land of tinder and ice in ardent silence

Hold on tight to our vision

The one that we’ve carried for so long

And soon we’ll feed the fire-doubled heartbeats

Sooth our souls’ needs

Stillness feeds our united bodies
