Well they left then in the morning, a hundred pairs of wings 

In the light moved together in the colors of the morning 

I looked to the clouds in the cirrus sky and they'd gone. 

Across the marshes, across the fields below. 

I fell through the vines and I hoped they would catch me below. 

If only to take me with them there, 

Tell me the part that shinesIn your heart on the wind. 

And the reeds blew in the morning. 

Take me along to the places 

You've gone when my eyes looked away. 

Tell me the song that you sing in the trees in the dawning. 

Tell me the part that shines in your heart 

And the rays of love forever, 

Please take me there. 



Over your shoulder, please don't mind me if my eyes have 

fallen onto your magazine for I've been watching and wondering why 

your face is changing with every line you read. All those lines 

and circles, to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give 

taste to me. If she would be wonderful, but my pride is in the 

way. I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say. 

I live in silence, afraid to speak of my life of 

darkness because I cannot read. For all those lines and circles, 

to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me. 

If she could it would be wonderful. Then I wouldn't need someone 

else's eyes to see what's in front of me. No one guiding me. 

It makes me humble to be so green at what every kid can 

do when he learns A to Z, but all those lines and circles just 

frighten me and I fear that I'll be trampled if you don't reach 

for me. Before I run I'll have to take a fall. And then pick 

myself up, so slowly I'll devour every one of those books in the 

Tower of Knowledge.
