His Arms Wide


"Darmok on the ocean.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

The beast at Tanagra.

Kadir beneath Mo Moteh.

Kiteo, his eyes closed.

Temba, his arms wide/open.

Temba, at rest.

Mirab, with sails unfurled.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

Sokath, his eyes uncovered/opened.

The river Temarc in winter.

Zinda, his face black, his eyes red.

Rai and Jiri at Lungha. Rai of Lowani.

Lowani under two moons. Jiri of Ubaya.

Ubaya of crossroads, at Lungha.

Lungha, her sky gray.

Uzani, his army with fists open.

Uzani, his army with fists closed."

There was one traveller
Two have made a pact
Against a common foe
Many will not see
Many have slept
Many are sailing
The dice are thrown
Communications are begun
We may risk all
Failure is possible
But the doors will be opened
Some are beyond our control
Some have chosen evil
We are different and together
Three stand at the crossroads.
We wish for peace and harmony
We must be ready to stand together.

upon reflection:

There was one traveller
Two have made a pact
Against a common foe
Many will not see
Many have slept
Many are sailing
These days are foretold
Communications are begun
We may risk all
Failure is possible
But the doors will be opened
Some are beyond our control
Some have chosen evil
We are different and together
Three stand at the crossroads.
Keep calm in the face of the storm
We wish for peace and harmony
We must be ready to stand together.

Interesting exercise tho' :>)

There was one traveller
Two have made a pact
Against a common foe
Many will not see
We have heard your call
Listen to your dreams
Many are sailing
These days are foretold
Communications are begun
We may risk all
Failure is possible
But the doors will be opened
Some are beyond our control
Some have chosen evil
We are different and together
Three stand at the crossroads.
Keep calm in the face of the storm
We wish for peace and harmony
We must be ready to stand together.
