when the man of coins returns to the sea
and places his gold on a sleeping man's eyes
his burden is light straw without water

he has his eagles back in his dreams
and he can run the dark forests alone
til the morning brings him his chains again

the talkers of legend speak of him in whispers
they say he is the taker of souls from stone
but they say he is also the true healer

that he touches the earth with widows tears
and that oaks grow from their sorrows
they speak his name with out sounds

lest mothers come to worship those he keeps

for my sunny friend, be well special one

Wow! Extremely powerful, I'm getting good images out of this one. If I'm not mistaken doesn't the "gold over the eyes" mean that that person is confirmed dead? Or is it a sign of respect after death? I can't remember, but this is really great.

Sounds of truth
ages of soul
keeper of chimes
all hear the wolf...

even the

talker of songs

This has some extreme meaning for me.

So, I'm putting it in a very special place.

Thank you, Sir.

DS

When your heart speaks, there are few that can compare to it's sensitive message.
