The Thirst for Light
The Thirst for the Light is the Obstinate Truth
And the Obstinate Truth is Unyielding
It Will Not Yield to the Mountain, the Sea, or the Sky
It Will Not Yield to Sleep, to Skin, or to Bone
We Bathe in the Light of the Radiant Stars
Whose Gift is as Great as their Hunger
We Eat What is Bathed in the Light of the Radiant Stars
We Are Changed by the Light of the Radiant Stars
We Drink from the Strings in Our Eyes
And the Radiant Stars Burn With Hunger
And their Hunger is as Great as their Gift
So as Hunger Burns, the Gift Burns Also
