lyrics

Icon - song 2
Maria Zajkowski

If the blackbird is singing
I know I am dying
correctly and in tune
It cries the light from its heart
The tide that devours itself

Throwing leaves to the sky
but the sky is gone

Your only wishes
are a different alone

Inside the Icon
the secret
Who is love and who is loved

I cut the grass and plant perfumes
around this perfection
with every other slave to freedom

Still not knowing
the certainties
I reach through the wall
Feel the wind
inside my life
Does this mean I have a meaning?
Or all this specific emptiness

The temple of the clock
The unfinished clouds
Our mutable wreck
The sea’s unreachable prayer

Night by night
at the gold fountain
I ask you again
what to forget

You wave so certain
where no thing is nothing
The rapture or the deluge
What comes first
