The air stills, the sound of silence is deafening -
My heart fills, the sound of blood pumping.
Raindrops scatter and damper red dust -
Brilliant green against black soil.
The dream of life returns -
We have learnt to ignore the sign,
Content to focus on creations of our kind.
The air stills, the sound of silence is deafening-
My heart fills, the sound of blood pumping
Black and grey - now the colour of promise
A dream of the heart's home - days in August
The dream of life returns -
A child's hope - feelings of freedom
For those born in May's Eden
The air still, the sound of silence is deafening -
My heart fills, the sound of blood pumping
Kanuku capped with foggy, misty love -
Making visions crisp and bright
Bringing the Rupununi to its might
The air stills, the sound of life is encompassing
For those who care to listen - sound of life is freeing
