14.CLOUDS AND WAVES
|
|
MOTHER, the folk who live up in the clouds call out to me--
|
"We play from the time we wake till the day ends.
|
We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon.
|
I ask, "But, how am I to get up to you?" They answer, "Come to the edge of the earth, lift up your hands to the sky, and you will be taken up into the clouds."
|
"My mother is waiting for me at home," I say. "How can I leave her and come?"
|
Then they smile and float away.
|
But I know a nicer game than that, mother.
|
I shall be the cloud and you the moon.
|
I shall cover you with both my hands, and our house-top will be the blue sky.
|
The folk who live in the waves call out to me--
|
"We sing from morning till night; on and on we travel and know not where we pass."
|
I ask, "But, how am I to join you?" They tell me, "Come to the edge of the shore and stand with your eyes tight shut, and you will be carried out upon the waves."
|
I say, "My mother always wants me at home in the evening--how can I leave her and go?"
|
Then they smile, dance and pass by.
|
But I know a better game than that.
|
I will be the waves and you will be a strange shore.
|
I shall roll on and on and on, and break upon your lap with laughter.
|
And no one in the world will know where we both are.
