| Abstract: | Sunayama (Sand Dunes) Sparrows in the Storm Waves on the sand are falling, falling from the evening sky Sparrows are shreds of darkness; darkness flies on feathers of night. Birds in the storm are clinging; clinging at night like sparrows in the cold. Under our feet are sand dunes; under our feet, the shifting sand. Stars are blown like sparrows; stars are flown on darkening wind. Leaves on the storm we scatter; lost on the wing, no place to land. Fly to my hand like a sparrow; fly to my hand, I’ll shelter you. Storms will be gone tomorrow; waves will sing a lullaby. Waters caress the shingle; breezes kiss beneath our wings |
