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."

  1. 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.

  4. 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.

    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.
