Times and Places

 

Somnambulant traces

Lit only by the moon beams

Cast in secret and hidden places

Visited only in the midnight of our dreams

Secret rendezvous of forgotten faces

Fantastic visions wash over the rocky streams

Spirits gliding in misty spaces

A gurgling, a rushing, a pouring

Down, down, down

The mountainside

Down the canyons

Down the valleys

Down to the far-off sea

Where gather together

All things

All the elements

All the sands of time

All the spirits of the land

Washing all together

In foam and wave

All the dreams

All the days

Lost

Forever

In fantastic reverie
