Prayer for Infinite Connection

On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky Ships are wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the Seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children If baby only wanted to he could fly up to heaven this moment It is not for nothing that he does not leave us Baby know all manner of wise words, though few on earth can Understand their meaning It is not for nothing that he never wants to speak 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 The light has grown grey in the sky I do not know what the time is There is no fun in my play So I have come to you I want to give you something My child For we are drifting in the stream of the world Our lives will be carried apart And our love forgotten This song of mine will wind its music around you, my child, like the fond arms of love The song of mine will touch your forehead like a kiss of blessing When you are alone it will sit by your side and whisper in your ear When you are in the crowd it will fence you about with aloofness My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams It will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown It will be like the faithful star overhead when dark night is over your road My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes And will carry your sight into the heart of things And when my voice is silenced in death, my song will speak in your living heart
