Bruce Cockburn

Centered on silence
Counting on nothing
I saw You standing on the sea
And everything was dark
Except for sparks the wind struck from Your hair
Sparks that turned to wings around You
Angel voices mixed with seabird cries
Fields of motion surging outward
Questions that contain their own replies
You were dancing
I saw You dancing
Throwing Your arms toward the skies
Fingers opening like flares
Stars were shooting everywhere
Lines of power bursting outward
Along the channels of Your song
Mercury waves flashed under Your feet
Shots of silver in the shell-pink dawn
