On Currents Distant lyrics

I have seen them them

No names yet, vague

Fresh flowers scented

The air perfumed, sacred

The earth turned fresh

She welcomes them all

Eternal presence kept

Joined in her waiting arms

The brief clamour gone

Now a windy silence

The reverence of rest

Like a book read and done

Tales told, lessons long

Treasures misplaced

Sad parting, drifting away

On currents distant

Like the lapping waves

The tides of life go on

Returning with time

Its obligated purpose

The earth rolls on slowed

As if a grain of sand

In a universe unbounded

Undefinable on a beach
