lyrics

hear my voice
though only a whisper
the power to melt stone
hides within the softest sound

life thus called
from tomb alabaster
flee not this place
like a deer

provoking a deadly force of nature
to strike out in search of us

comes now the bear who runs with thunder
smoldering eyes on my submission bent

even as he vaults my shoulder
down the hillside
I can sense his return and I feel my heart
slow

silence spreads
a cloak on the forest
slumbering trees witness not
what happens now

mind like water
trapped in a basin
to light and heat yields
leaping high

forming a crystal gazing-fountain
reflecting the return of the onrushing

bear whose teeth take hands prisoners
circling wide, face pressed to my abdomen

and so we must now forever dance together
though a feast shall be made of me if I stray
