A lonely man sits on a rock

On a lonely mountain

By the singing water.

 

His lonely mind

Thinks lonely thoughts

That fill the air

With ideas unheard.

 

A lone bird flies

And hears his lonely thoughts

It soars to the rock

And the man is lonely no more.

------------------------------------------------------

A lone bird stands

Where a lonely man once thought.

 

Ideas unheard ring in the air

Leap over the singing water

And vibrate through the mountain

Impossible for the lone bird to forget

He set his sharp beak against the lonely rock.

 

Carved words mark

Where the lonely man once sat

Where the lone bird stood.

------------------------------------------------------

A lonely child sits on a lonely rock

Not so lonely anymore.
