The Valley of Dancing Stones

in the sky the birds seed song along flight-paths narrow and strong
I creak along a thought from where I sit, old, and wooden, and still
the fynbos on the slopes, the sea out on the bay
the snow-sown mountain tops, the quartzite plains below
all held here in my cup, coffee beans to my lip
meat-bone and orange rind, bubbling water from a tap
softening my skin, sand-papered in the wind
of time and talk, and being-with and being-me
we are not alone and we have wings, we have tongues and we can sing
we carry visions, we hold dreams, when we sleep
plate tectonics ensure that we drift apart, yet are crumpled together like a sponge
the Himalayas rise higher, and reach around to touch fingers
with our faraway friends, a flock around a fire
hold strong, up ahead, keep the course, don’t stray
roll up your bag in the morning, shoulder a load
and go forth: the sun sits at your back
nudging you along, through the valley of dancing stones
along the streams of bitter-sweet remember
the light flickering in everything
to see you, to see you

bitter-sweet remember
bitter-sweet remember
bitter-sweet remember (repeat)

hold strong, up ahead, keep the course, don’t stray
roll up your bag in the morning, shoulder a load
and go forth:

through the valley of dancing stones
along the streams of bitter-sweet remember
the light flickering in everything
to see you, to see you
