The branches go numb / The monks peel apples / How we age between / this dusk & the next / They leave a scar, because everything / Haven’t we always been seekers / Let me translate for you / This suffering isn’t a punishment / Your soul needs threshing / You can’t stay at the base of the cross / My head shearing / hush-distant hills / Ride into the fire / Don’t leave him / in his agony / The timeless ones / make noise around you / the holier you are / Knock once to enter / Test every spirit / There are no hidden doors / to our beatific otherworld / We promise an incorrupt body / Starlings rising above stalks / Do you believe / holiness transforms / you into God / We are made / Water / We scatter / We riddle / Seven sheep / lost in the cold / We are the dream / you’re dreaming / We believe in the night / Stay in the boat / The storm is yours / Don’t doubt / We’re here / Keep your eyes / on the eastern skies / Detach from / this Earth / It’s difficult / to be a saint / But it’s not impossible / God can do the impossible / The boat moves / slowly / The boat / under stars / The voices that change / how you walk this world / aren’t yours / We wait / for you / until you’ve arrived / You aren’t lost / in our dream/ singing
