No longer does the water frighten me,
Yet I am still unable to dive in.
The air is where my spirit resides
Yet I long for water with a passion unknown.
I have seen twenty fallen.
My watermark is faint and seems faded,
Yet I know that it has only begun to appear.
The stars yearn madly for the earth
While I desire the precious moon.
I have seen twenty fallen.
Desert sands ride upon the wind
While I count stars that have escaped.
Darkness eneters where light once was.
I cannot even hesitate for
I have seen twenty fallen.
Nothing can destroy the scene
That’s replayed in my dreams.
Both visions amiable and most horrid
Fill my grieving mind.
I have seen twenty fallen.
I gaze upon the darkened sky
Watching all the movements.
I know there are not stars that fall
But still the sight is beautiful.
I have seen twenty fallen.
