about

This week's song is a full-circle song, re-visiting the theme of life coming from death. Newness being born of the old, so that the two are barely distinguishable, they're just part of the same universe of living Spirit and its endless cycles.

I wonder about how life and death would be understood without the perception of time. Maybe they would be the same thing; rather than as opposite-pole-perpetuators of change, movement and growth, they might be perceived in their purest form: Life. Spirit itself.

lyrics

The last breath
of a dying bird
becomes the wind
that carries the seed

The final flutter
of her wings
fans the fire
that rages through the decay

The light that fades
from her eyes
is the Spirit
that illuminates a long-forgotten darkness

Death lights the way
Death lights the way
Light the way
Light the way
