NO LIMITS TO YOUR WINGS song lyrics NERUDA 11
by Joel Sattler

[based on the 11th poem of 20 LOVE POEMS
by Pablo Neruda]

almost sinking out of sky
half moon anchored tween two mountains
rotate in the wandering night
count the stars spread in the fountain

make a cross between my eyes
metal forge stalemated nights
heart spin like a loco wheel
woman coming out of light

flash of eyes under the sky
tempest blaming fury swirl
cross my heart and hope to die
tombstone cyclone breaking burl

uproot trees on either side
but you, so white, want smoke and spike
the wind made you from leaves in pyre
behind black hills white lily fire

but nothing nothing can I sing
for you were made of everything
there are no words a bell can ring
there are no limits to your wings

anxiety tore me apart
so time to take another road
to a place she does not smile
where my heart will not implode

the windstorm buried all the bells
tornado surged across the path
there's no need to touch her now
there's no need to make her sad

the trail away from all that is
no anguish, death or rivers run
with eyes that open through the dew
a place where winter never comes

but nothing nothing can I sing
for you were made of everything
there are no words a bell can ring
there are no limits to your wings
