Renée Fleming: Distant Light
The Strand Settings: 2. Dark Harbor XX
Is it you standing among the olive trees beyond the courtyard?
You in the sunlight, waving me closer with one hand
While the other shields your eyes from the brightness
That turns all that's not you dead white?
Is it you?
Is it you around whom the leaves scatter, scatter like foam?
You in the murmuring night that's scented
With mint and lit by the distant wilderness
The wilderness of stars
Of stars
Of stars
Is it you?
Is it really you
Rising from the scripts of waves
The length of your body casting a sudden shadow over my hand
So that I feel how cold it is as it moves over the page?
You leaning down and putting your mouth against mine
So I should know that a kiss is only the beginning
Of what, until now, we could only imagine?
Is it you or the long compassionate wind
That whispers in my ear: "alas, alas?"
You in the sunlight, waving me closer with one hand
While the other shields your eyes from the brightness
That turns all that's not you dead white?
Is it you?
Is it you around whom the leaves scatter, scatter like foam?
You in the murmuring night that's scented
With mint and lit by the distant wilderness
The wilderness of stars
Of stars
Of stars
Is it you?
Is it really you
Rising from the scripts of waves
The length of your body casting a sudden shadow over my hand
So that I feel how cold it is as it moves over the page?
You leaning down and putting your mouth against mine
So I should know that a kiss is only the beginning
Of what, until now, we could only imagine?
Is it you or the long compassionate wind
That whispers in my ear: "alas, alas?"
