i am pure lonliness
i am empty air
i am drifting cloud

i have no form
i am boundless
i have no rest

i have no house
i pass through places
i am an indifferant wind

i am the white bird
flying away from land
i am the horizon

i am a wave
that will never reach the shore

i am an empty shell
cast up on the sand

i am the moonlight
on the cottage with no roof

i am the forgotten dead
in the broken vault on the hill

i am the old man
carrying his water in a pail

i am light
travelling in empty space

i am a dimishing star
speeding away
out of the universe
