About

Till shade is gone, till water is gone,
into the Shadow with teeth bared,
screaming defiance with the last breath,
to spit in Sightblinder's eye on the last Day.

But trust is the color of a dark seed growing.
Trust is the color of a heart's blood flowing.
Trust is the color of a soul's last breath.
Trust is the color of death.

We rode on the winds of the rising storm
We ran to the sounds of the thunder
We danced among the lightning bolts
And tore the world asunder.

The rose petal floats on water,
the kingfisher flashes above the pond.
Life and beauty swirl in the midst of death.

There are only two times a woman admits she is wrong: when she wants something and when it snows at midsummer.
