From far across the green hills,

Themes
  Death
  Mountain
  Pain and Wounding
  Silence
 

 

From far across the green hills,
Patchworked with misshapen dreams,
Came the vision of my dream
Carried by the wind.
"I shall be," and "We shall be."
Such are the beginnings of our pain.

There is nothing wrong with living,
Except the dying,
And nothing wrong with dreaming,
Except the believing
That all we are is being.

Now, on my hill
Are the stones of the dead
And no wind blows.
The far off hills are quiet and still,
As am I.
