there is this great dark bird that's awakening again

[ophelia_noyait]

and it's spreading its wings across the sky
and its eyes see far and its ears hear all
and you can hear its piercing cry

are you waiting for the black of night?
are you living?
or are you dying?

(today is national self-injury awareness day)

and thus...

deep peace of the running wave to you
deep peace of the flowing air to you
deep peace of the quiet earth to you
deep peace of the shining stars to you

peace be unto you.
