lyrics

4 riddles

1

I am the tree with a single silver leaf
I am the strong wall surrounding the butterfly
I am the voice of fire
I am the teeth of a loving vixen
I am the daydream of the axe
I am the rose in an army of briars
I am the stone that holds the river
I am the bright heart of a black oak

2

I am the shepherd of the golden oak leaves
I am the dancer in the rain
I am the archer of a thousand petals
I am the audience of the bee
I am the hunter with two green hounds
I am the partner of the wren
I am the weaver with green needles
I am the smith of a thousand green spears

3

I have been alone on the mountain
I have been the manuscript of fog
I have been the watching forest
I have been the tongue of a boar
I have been hunted and escaped to safety
I have been the starving gold
I have been the silver salmon
I sang with the mouth of ocean
I have drowned in golden pollen
I made the music of wind over ice

4

I am the sleeper by a running tide
I am water that you cannot drink
I am a castle ruined by forgetting
I am a story where there are no mouths
