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
