now it s clear

"Completely right with all these things..."
"Completely understand the sky..."
We try to stretch our paper wings
Feeling the breath of inner fire

The friends are friends till night not deep
The light of morning hurry up
The aim is near & clear & cheap
While my guitar lonely harps

There is a day, there is a day
No matter darkness knocks my door
The spinning pain going to stay
But inner wave licks inner shore

Turn around, have a look at the heart of the ice -
It's only fire
Turn again, try to see the bottom of fire -
It's only cool wind

& again & again I open my eyes,
But who's that "I am"?
& the time I can find is a shimmering isle
Under my paper wings

I know not if I'll reach the shore
I know not if the shore is here
The time is roaring through my door -
Singular beat of ocean tear

Staying alive as tied is on,
So many times going to die,
Wakening upside with every song,
Stepping aside as night goes by

Every step in the snow
Every sound in the air
Makes me to say a word
But the silence inside
Like the wind of the fair
Blowing from a strange world

Where the sky never lies & it's waves are full of leaves
falling on our heads
& There's somebody's else who suddenly helps
Touching with leaf-hands...

& now is clear who's palms are leaves
& now is clear who's eyes are clouds
& now is clear who's smile is peace
& now it's clear & now it's found
