Reaching Through to the Other Side

My Brightest Diamond

The very stillness
I can hear a heartbeat
Though I can't see you
I can hear a sound
Through a veil I feel a hand
Near me
Reaching through to the other side
Reaching through to the other side

I receive this body mine
From moon to grave
I now walk an ancient line
One foot follows the other
This stone
This fine eyed place
Is it limitless?
To touch the boundless
I hear
A measureless lines
It seems so heartless
Just to be alive

Hindrances
The stresses
Of substance
I turn them over
Those forgotten
I remember
And gather them up in my arms
Like some magic thing
Twisted, unwinding
It carries me on
Oh how gorgeous
Oh how gorgeous
To struggle now
To struggle now
In time

Reaching through to the other side
