"amidst the movement" (alela diane menig)

(fotografia de narelle autio, "fallen", 2006)


"For just a moment amidst the movement
i was calm, and so at ease
Nothing as pure, nothing as silent
as swimming deep in the emerald waters

I held my breath, I prayed to granite
a golden ring down in the depths
You needed time, so I had patience
but I gave up, just so you know

Shadows can fade
if you cast them away
tie them to this rusty chain
down, and down to the rocky bottom

You talk of birds, and understand them
I took it in, and heard the trees
a trail we followed, impassible till snowmelt
a stone that shattered with your throw

I watched the echo upon the surface
each perfect ring had a glinting glow
My love was up for the taking
now it's been given it back to him

Shadows can fade
if you cast them away
tie them to the rusty chain
down, and down to the rocky bottom

A golden ring down in the depths
my love's been given back to him
a golden ring down in the depths
my love's been given back to him" (1)
