This is what the things can teach us: to fall, patiently to trust our heaviness.
Even a bird has to do that before he can fly.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

Like the winds blowing
Changes fast and growing
I knew better than...
To trust myself
To trust someone else
To trust the doubt in the back of my mind
Trust the trail of pain left behind...
Yes, I knew better than
I knew better than to trust love again...

So you mustn't be frightened....
if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety - like light and cloud-shadows, moves over your hands and everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in the palm of its hand and will not let you fall.
~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet

A certain type of wind has swept me up
But chill has found each bone
I am overcome
There is an icy breath that escapes my lips
And I am lost again
A certain type of darkness has stolen me
Under a quiet mask of uncertainty
I wait for light like water from the sky
And I am lost again
In the sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You’re the only way out of this sea
Lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
Will you let me follow you
Wherever you go....Bring me home

Among my stillness was a pounding heart....

Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart...

Giant steps are what we take
Walking on the moon...
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon....

We could be together
Walking on the moon...
