Though there is 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 I receive this body mine From womb to grave I now walk an ancient line One foot follows the other This stone, this finite place Is it limitless? To touch the boundless I hear a measureless rise It seems so wondrous Just to be alive Hindrances, distresses of substance I turn them over Those forgotten I remember And gather them up in my arms Like some magic thing twisted and winding It carries me on Oh how gorgeous, oh how gorgeous to struggle now To struggle now in time
