Voice
And the wind came cold
And the sun rose dripping a bucket full of gold

Voice
If the power were granted you
You would dare to be changed
As you are changing now into the shape you dread
Beyond the merely human
But the imagination fails and the doors of the senses close
And the child within
To break out of yourselves a dry fire eats you
Come bathe in these waters

Eden
My red shoes hurt Papa
And my dress keeps blowing up

Eden
We are on the threshold of the last mystery

Voice
On the threshold of the last mystery
You have looked into the eyes of your creature self
And you say
He is not broken but endures
Limber and firm in the state of his shining
Forever inheriting his salt kingdom

Voice
And the sky went warm
And the sun rose dripping a bucket full of gold
