... Master of Riddles ...
Will you face unbidden questions
That touch the fabric of your soul?
Will you make that leap of reason
And emerge alive and whole?
I could give you clues and portents
To solve the riddles that are posed
But would you listen in you andger
Would your fear then be deposed?
-chorus-
In the silence between heartbeats
In the moment between thoughts
In the rhythm of our movements
Lies the knowledge you have sought
Is it pride that holds you ransom
In the circle of your mind?
Unwilling to take chances
Afraid of what you'll find?
The ruling of strange powers
of Wind and Earth and Sea
What lies encompassed in your mind
Is your true mastery!
-chorus
dust over water
breath after breath
fire in the aether
of cold intellect
