about

Composition by Garo Altinian
English version by Coleman Barks

lyrics

This world made of our love

Praise to the emptiness
That blanks out existence. Existence.
This world made of our love for that emptiness.
Yet somehow comes emptiness
this existence goes.
Praise to that happening
over and over

For years I pulled my own existence
out of emptiness.
Yet one swoop, swing of the arm
that work is over.
Free of who I was.
Free of fear, free of presence,
Free of mountainous wanting

The here and now mountain is
a tiny piece of straw,
blown off into emptiness.

These words I’m saying
begin so much to lose their meaning.
Existence, emptiness, mountain and straw.

Words and what they try to say
went out the window,
down the slant of the roof.
