lirik lagu brenda wehle - lake and maple
i want to give myself
utterly
as this maple
that burned and burned
for three days without stinting
and then in two more
dropped off every leaf;
as this lake that
no matter what comes
to its green~blue depths
both takes and returns it
in the still heart that refuses nothing
the world is twice~born –
two earths wheeling
two heavens
two egrets reaching
down into subtraction;
even the fish
for an instant doubled
before it is gone
i want the fish
i want the losing it all
when it rains and i want
the returning transparence
i want the place
by the edge~flowers where
the shallow sand is deceptive
where whatever
steps in must plunge
and i want that plunging
i want the ones
who come in secret to drink
only in early darkness
and i want the ones
who are swallowed
i want the way
the water sees without eyes
hears without ears
shivers without will or fear
at the gentlest touch
i want the way it
accepts the cold moonlight
and lets it pass
the way it lets
all of it pass
without judgment or comment
there is a lake
lalla ded sang, no larger
than one seed of mustard
that all things return to
o heart, if you
will not, cannot, give me the lake
then give me the song
