A mother casts her dreams into the sea;We, the words sent bobbing towards the sun,The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy.Because she must conclude her melodyAnd fall back to the sweet dark hush of One,A mother casts her dreams into the sea,Hoping to cross that wild infinityAnd on some infant shore again to run,The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesyOutside the fiery circle of memory,The howling surf, the incessant years undone …A mother casts her dreams into the seaAnd then dissolves into a tapestry,Her rolling, helpless drift again begun,The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesyAfloat once more upon eternity,Once more the alien fury, never done …Again, again, her dreams into the sea,The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy!
