Masayoshi Soken Flow
Welcome and well met, my brave little spark
How long you've wandered, burned bright as a star
Oh, I have longed, waiting patiently
All this time past every fate
Now sing with me once more
Share of your life
Far greater than memory
It's loss and love words cannot hold
Boundless, the tale overflows and carries your light out to sea
Remember the rain, near and far beloved
Each drop a blessing, from heavens abovе
And how must time float on those waters
Bеcame one, streams, rivers and lakes
Reaching for the horizon and far beyond
They carry onward, however changed with each brief reflection
By setting sun, by storm's wake
Till welcomed home to gentle sea
Sinking deeper and deeper in calm embrace
Loving tide sweeping in, bear you down
Should you meet us, arise and surface thus
With your own beating heart wish them well
Deep, dark, far away
I heard of your voice
With your every choice
Now our hands joined round the meaning you sought
I'll catch your tears
Quench your fears with joy
To your devotion
Where in time all shall as hope be reborn all
Hush love, close your eyes
Let them sleep all blind, in such a still night
It calls to unto dreams, be and all
Though you will weep, the winds rise again, for this journey's end
Is but one step forward to tomorrow
