The never ending happening
Of what’s to be
and what has been
Just to be a part of it
is astonishing to me
The never ending happening
Of waves crashing
against the cliffs
The falling seed
the wind carries
The never ending happening
Souls arriving constantly
From the shores of eternity
Birds and bees
and butterflies
Parade before my eyes
The never ending happening
Of the four winds
changing direction
Nightfall stars sun rise again
Birdsong before the day begins
For some
it’s like tight-rope walkin’
Blind-folded and shaking
On either side fear and pain
For some
it’s like tight-rope walking
The never ending happening
Of war evermore
and sore famine
Yearning for the day to be
When God will
roll his stone away
The never ending happening
Of what ‘s to be
and what has been
Just to be a part of it
Is astonishing to me
* Never Ending Happeningの意味:ここでの「終わらない出来事」は、生と死の終わらない自然のくり返し、誕生~生~死へと続く無慈悲な営みを表している。
* God will roll his stone awayの意味:「神がその石を捨てるまで」で、石は墓石を表す。ここでは、神がこの生と死の螺旋を終わらせ、全く別の世界の始まりを期待しているという意味。
