[Verse 1]

When your eyes pause on the ball

That hangs on the third branch from the star

You remember why it is dark

And why it gets light again

[Verse 2]

The Earth, like the heart, slopes in its seat

And, like that, it travels along an elliptical path

Drawn into the darkness

[Verse 3]

An unpolished pearl

In sky-black palm of hand

Flickering sun-flame

[Verse 4]

And then you remember

That you, yourself, you are a light-bearer, a light-bearer

Receiving radiance from others

Flickering sun-flame

Unpolishеd Earth in the palm of hand
