Benke

Hummingbird called me: look
White moon arrived on time
The Sea-Kiss gave me proof:
A very new star
In the forest lantern
Strength that comes and renews

Hummingbird of love takes me
Like the wind took the leaf

My sovereign Mother
My jewel Forest
You who shine in the shadow
Also shine there on the beach

Hummingbird sent me away
To work and open my eyes

Water Star wets me
Everything that loves and cries
Disappears at the river bend
Everything is inside and outside
My jewel Forest

There is water
there is water
there is that vastness
there is the shadow of the Forest
there is the light of the heart
Goodwill!!!
