Pine Song (Where Do I Go from Here?)

There were things done and a world undone

That I can’t remember - the path to this place

Always lived out, always in doubt 

Condemned and sorry, a song half-empty

But I think I found hope, 

In a last ray of smoke

The way back for maybe the first time

There was a crow

Flown in from the cold

And there was a tree just covered with starlight

Perhaps only those winter birds know the taste of no home 

Blown only skywards

Stay by my side, stay in my life, 

Lend me your faith and your farsight

A last look before leaving, 

Friend of the long night 

You’re reaching back for me

The lost rite  

See us as we are, afraid in the dark

But mantled with starlight and wonder 

Where do I go from here...

Where do we go from here...
