Deep Song

Deep Song

I sing praise to Deep Song
To the dark hymns of the depths  

To Tui and Koromako
Who are nothing except themselves

And thus, witnesses to the depths
From woven nests
Among the green citadels of the Unknown

Whose melodies infuse the sanctuary
Of Deep Song
For nine abundant years

Whose name was given in a dream
Whose prophecies sing in my bones

Who births stillness
So, stillness births me

Where Moon
Hangs low above Mirror Mountain

And it’s here I’ve written seven books
And each has reworked my life

Until I become singular, and an exception
Yet, intimately interwoven with all life

And on the last day
We will turn the key together

In the sure realisation

Nothing
Is left behind
