Bright Stars

On the shoreline, waves rolling against the rocks
The endless rhythm of a breathing world
Sun abiding in its firmamental home

We stand here
And the bright stars pierce the dark sky

Which way are we travelling?
Out to sea or inward across the fields?
Only two directions on a straight line

We stand here
And the bright stars pierce the dark sky

Our hearts in the void
In the shadow of the dune we wait
Is the sun rising?
Or is the world falling?

We stand here
And the bright stars pierce the dark sky
