Silent Waters

I set out on a longest road 
to seek the answers from Death 
I set out to the black sacred stream 
to seek out and shoot a white swan 


On desolate and stony paths 
from a mountain to a vale 
I reached the shore and saw it come 
into my view, the swan 


I took the arrow and raised my bow 
I aimed below the graceful neck 
under the white of its breast 
inside the red of its heart 


The surface of the river calm and black 
reflects the sky, the pale moon 
and there a glimpse caught of myself 
I'm shattered, the vision is ruined 


An arrow from the water 
a serpent rips my mind 
into the black river of Death 
with a slash across my heart 


My last sight a white swan 
behind the swan a starless sky 
under the sky a coal black river 
reflected a bone white moon
