Elemental Child
While you were sleeping, the wind called your name, elemental child, your eyes give you away. Will you sing of sweet, sad things? Do you know what forever means? Do you dream?
While you were dreaming, stars fell from your eyes, elemental child, between the world and the sky. Will you touch a heart of stone? Can you see beyond the storm, you alone?
You’ve been sleeping and dreaming, so the Seas of Ever say. Though the last bells are tolling, and the mists have come to stay, it’s only a dream.
While you were alone, the earth began to cry, elemental child, keeper of the wise. Will you whisper secret words of life? Will you keep them far beyond the fire, until time?
You’ve been crying and whispering, so the Songs of Ever say. Though the last bells are tolling, and the mists have come to stay, it’s only a whisper
