Story behind the song

poetry book improv

Lyrics

A man
Faced with his own immensity
Wakes all the waves,
All their loose wandering fire.

The murmur of the absolute
The "Why?" 
Of being born
Fails on his naked ears.

His spirit moves
Like a monumental wind
That
Gently on a sunny blue plateau
Settles.

Here is the end of things.

The ripple white innings
From a single stone
Winding around the waters
Of the world.

I learn not to fear infinity,
The dying of time
In the white light
Of tomorrow,
The wheel turning away
From itself,
The sprawl of the wave
The oncoming water,
To forget time and death...

song written to the old poem 'The Far Field' by (the old poet) Theodore Roethke
