Solstice

Björk - Solstice

When your eyes

Pause on the ball

That hangs on the third branch from the star

You remember why it is dark

And why it gets light again

The earth, like the heart

Slopes in its seat

And like that it travels

Along an elliptical path

Drawn in the darkness

An unpolished pearl

In sky-black palm of hand

Flickering sun-flame

Then you remember

That you yourself

You are a light-bearer, a light-bearer

Receiving radiance from others

Flickering sun-flame

Unpolished earth in the palm of hand
