Chapter 8 Chant Alyssa
Chant Alyssa
Hello!Pyramids of rock in your ocean,
When did the waterfall hang over your shoulders?
When did your forehead hide from the sun?
Answer me with the cries of seagulls!
when will the mighty creator let you go
The dream under the sea, the one that lifts you up to the sky
Bed, in the arms of thunder and sun,
And the white clouds became your cold blanket?
Oh, you do not answer; because of your sleep.
Your life is two dead eternities:
With a whale at one end, in the depths of the sea;
The other end is in the sky where the giant eagle soars!
Unless an earthquake pulls you up to the sky,
Who can wake up your huge body!
