The Rock Will Wear Away - Holly Near[00:00:00]
Sixteen year old virgin[00:00:06]
Springtime takes her to the park[00:00:12]
Where the moon shines down like the future[00:00:17]
Calling her out of the dark[00:00:23]
But her nightmare finds her freedom[00:00:28]
And leaves her lying wounded worn from invasion[00:00:32]
Thirty year old mother[00:01:02]
Autumn finds her pregnant once more[00:01:07]
And the leaves like gold and copper[00:01:12]
Reminding her that she is poor[00:01:17]
And her children often are hungry[00:01:22]
She hungers too[00:01:26]
For knowledge time and choices[00:01:29]
Eighty year old poet[00:01:55]
Winter keeps her home and alone[00:02:01]
Where she freezes and darkness keeps her[00:02:05]
From writing her final wisdom[00:02:10]
But she lights her last red candle[00:02:15]
And as it is melting[00:02:19]
Tilting it writing now[00:02:22]
Light as a feather floating by[00:02:30]
Landing then covered with soot[00:02:32]
Waiting now watching now for rain[00:02:37]
To wash clean her pain[00:02:41]
Can we be like drops of water falling on the stone[00:02:48]
Splashing breaking dispersing in air[00:02:58]
Weaker than the stone by far but be aware[00:03:04]
That as time goes by the rock will wear away[00:03:09]
Can we be like drops of water falling on the stone[00:03:21]
Splashing breaking dispersing in air[00:03:30]
Weaker than the stone by far but be aware[00:03:35]
That as time goes by the rock will wear away[00:03:40]
And the water comes[00:03:52]
And the water comes[00:03:55]
And the water comes[00:03:57]
And the water comes[00:04:00]
And the water comes[00:04:02]
And the water comes again[00:04:05]
