Lyyli Esther The Ark
Alone in your palace
I watched you dance
in rooms with glass walls
on stairs with glass floors
then you turned and you turned and
lo
frozen wings unbend
Then you flew above the crowd
with those icy winds
your toe touched the highest arch
those icy winds
icy winds
Snowflakes fall
so softly about you
snowflakes they fall
so softly about you
just like me, freed from your
bubble of glass
,from your bubble of glass
Icy sails wait at sea
Icy sails you will sail with me
On wings that sing
At last
when the ark is turning
at last, the tide is free
and at last
it is time
we will hasten to go
