Cold Mountain |
Open handed I tried to live among all people, ideas aloft |
Open handed I read the books, I learned the histories, I sang the songs |
Until mountains bellowed that my friends are flawed |
And not to forget sorrow and all the other Gods |
And that my mouth was dirty and that my ears were clogged |
And of course that I’m flawed also… |
And then it stopped |
Open handedness had me in it’s grasp |
I was running around frantically |
Anxiously trying to show off my open hands |
«Hope, Unhand me!» |
I finally yelped: |
«Let me dwell on bad news |
Let me wallow in it» |
So came long nights and hunkering down |
And there stood Cold Mountain with its trickling sound |
When I reached the summit, I made no camp |
But I unrolled my sleeping bag in the stream |
And let the cold water pour in my ears |
