ON.OFF Behold how sightless eyes on silent wingswhich fly in darkness Glow soft light and liftour minds to hear those thoughts which whisper truth This mother moth was once a girdled ovum securely sealed high in a leafy tree No wind nor rain nor predators of nature would harm the young formdeveloping within And then one day midst morning's warming rays new life burst forth new life burst forth A mighty change brought forth a mortal form To start new lifeTo start anew Behold how green translucence which cannot soarand will yet endure the darkest cold Seeks warmth and light todaybefore it drops to earth to rest in silken, silent darkness. These sleeping forms await a change so mighty that bonds will break to set the captives free And then they'll climb to make a needful journey before they soar On wings they never owned On that great day past noontime's warming rays when life burst forth a gift from God The mighty change brought forth a favored form To start new lifeTo carry on If only man could see his fate And listened to the wind He might not doubt the miracle To which there is no end by Bill Oehlke
No wind nor rain nor predators of nature would harm the young formdeveloping within
A mighty change brought forth a mortal form To start new lifeTo start anew
Behold how green translucence which cannot soarand will yet endure the darkest cold
Seeks warmth and light todaybefore it drops to earth to rest in silken, silent darkness.
And then they'll climb to make a needful journey before they soar On wings they never owned
The mighty change brought forth a favored form To start new lifeTo carry on
