lyrics

Closing Recitation

THE SHADOW OF THE FIRE

The vibrations of the sounds seem the same
But the meanings of the sounds
Take separate directions
At the crossroads
Of the cosmic point of the arrow
.........................................................................
Beyond this age
Through the darkness of the light years
And the light years of the darkness
Is the pure light of the pure darkness
And the pure darkness of the pure light
The light is as the darkness
Because the light is the image
And the shadow of the fire.
