Made wonderful and strange -
The calm water touched the empty shore -
There was one leaf on a bare tree -
The pale blue sky was cloudless -
Stillness fell from heaven -
I saw all my years in the clear icy air -
My name written in scattered shells -
Each day now the edge of the world came nearer -
The stillness deeper, the light more radiant -
