Orbits

She knelt on the bank
Beside the stream
Silvery cool
And across the way
Gently unfurled
Weeping Willow
She studied the stream
Pondering time
Clearing her mind
For long as she sat
Water would change
Yet stay the same
And the Moon
Goes round the Earth
Goes round the Sun
Goes round the Milky Way
Around our friends
Around our men
Around our children
Till we begin
To reach the end
Just to begin again
Three sat round the fire
Sharing their prayers
Beautiful souls
Through strength and support
Ideas were formed
Harmonies flowed
Stars pierced velvet skies
Smiling above
Whispering delight
Though much was outpoured
How much they gave
They received more
And the Moon
We revolve
And we spin
She laid down the board
And filled the jars
With colored sand
With patience and care
Placed grains to form
Intricate art
Covered by a shield
Questioning not what process would yield
This impermanent life
After those days
Wind blew it away
(And the Moon) goes round the Earth
Goes round the Sun
Goes round the Milky Way
(We revolve) around our friends
Around our men
Around our children
(And we spin) Till we begin
To reach the end
Just to begin again
To reach the end
Just to begin again
To reach the end
Just to begin again
