Immortal majesty, I wander the clouds Jump from mountain top to mountain top And swim alongside endless fish Yet today my feet lit upon An island overgrown With vines and trees and shrubs So intricately woven The touch of a god must have been here I can not help but wonder What piece of mortality could be so grand That one of my kin should protect it? As that god has twined these branches So I am fit to unravel A grove, a simple grove No holy marks or shrines I look about for something majestic But all I find is a sleeping lady A slumbering mortal woman The noise of my steps, my breath The aura of my closeness Fail to wake her and I become amused She turns my way as I approach Suddenly I jerk my feet back I choose my steps more carefully In fear of waking her Me? A god? Afraid to wake a mortal? Yet as I look at her face I feel that she is more holy Than I could ever be So into my arms she comes Sweeping her up to my mountain palace Still she slumbers Still I yearn Still I envy I lay her head on my pillow And I ponder who I am Until I fall asleep on the floor |
