Windrunner 02:50
Wind runs deep to lift me up Sun shines bright to bring me luck And the grass waves, and the trees branch out and Spark cool, soothing rest Rain breaks sky in passing love Earth undried embraced above Elemental, and I stay transfixed and Pass time in blissful awe Run Wind moves me and I am free

Ex Nihilo 03:49
I came from nothing but I will not end as nothing I will go to my conceit I slight contentment, choose the left instead of quiet tried roads No, I try my feet But it’s right in front of me, all these visions I can’t see It is right in front of me, all these visions I can’t see Take from the sound of one good word Everything you need, everything you see Just take from the sound of one good word Everything you need Like as nobody at his cyclops, then I shout from ships I lead And my men die Temptations throw me towards the great, forsake in me the good I leave with no reply But it’s right in front of me, all these visions I can’t see It is right in front of me, all these visions I can’t see Take from the sound of one good word Everything you need, everything you see Just take from the sound of one good word Everything you need

Rest 03:29
When I rest I'm not quite sleeping When I speak I'm not quite there I fix on the day before I stumble but find my words When I play I'm taking my chances When I work I'm looking down at me When I smile there's always something When I cry I'm always thinking of it still I'm never resting so I Tremble to save myself I tremble to stay alive I tremble to save myself I tremble but stay alive When I love I'm not so distant When I love I'm always near I find my peace with you I am at peace with you

In the fall, she would dig to follow his strict rules For plotting out two-hundred square on holy unmolested lands Every evening she would sweat, so she cut her long black hair Though she loved each strand, it was not a loss So long as she saw dirt clear Even with her expertise, she could not foresee the earth Splitting intent solely for her As the space between fault lines swallowed her life's work In the winter, she walked on, eager shovel still in hand But the sight of her failure in the distance disquieted her fresh campaign Every morning the workman agreed to build with silvered hair Yet some months in she lost sense to the torn ground Running leagues from their stock back to her start He chased with, "think of everything we've made." "The deed would not be worth its ink," she turns Inciting his best blade, bent on cutting her down She outdraws him and the snow sews his red quilt Then she protests, "Will I trade further blood for brick?" In the springtime, she took road, abandoning her quarry She encountered every manner of beast and highwayman Firm against her passage She would stop at merry inns and keep her joy till morning By the next day she did naught but yearn still for his first design Though she seemed content to roam Her swiftly graying hair betrayed her true heart to our lot: "Knowing now I need no home Why then still to this day do I think of him?" In the summer, she would teach, with countless queries past her In this practice only one started her, a girl, hair black against her white "He would only disapprove," met with: "To hell with what the dead think He will not be resurrected, and so to what end have you been acting?" The architect's rekindled plan has been drawn by different hands Neither woman needs the other, yet the house goes twice as far Yet they both are better for their labor
