- The Promise
When you are an eagle
soaring round the mountains high
I will be the winds that lift you
I will be your summer sky
When you are a cloud
sprinkling rain upon the land
I will dance beneath your shower
I will hold your watery hand
When you are a flame
throwing heat and blazing bright
I will be your embers
glowing red throughout the night
And when you are the ocean
choppy waves and salty foam
I will smooth the shores before you
shine my light and guide you home
- The Sisters
She is larger than all
golden, glowing arms
that light the air
and caress the earth
The growers’ delight
queen of spring
and glory of summer
goddess of the sky
She scoffs at her sister
whose small, gentle hands
glow soft and silver
through the night
But the sister smiles
for she is ruler of tides
prize of poets
and the song of every lover
- Las Hermanas
Ella es más grande que todos
brazos dorados y brillantes
que iluminan el aire
y acarician la tierra
El deleite de los cultivadores
reina de la primavera
y la gloria del verano
diosa del cielo
Ella se mofa de su hermanita
cuyas manos pequenas y suaves
brillan tenue y plateado
durante la noche
Pero la hermanita sonrie
porque ella es soberana de las mareas
el premio de poetas
y la canción de cada amante
