'Song of an Initiate' 

climbed the blue staircase up to the sky 
climbed where the roses were opening 
where roses were speaking 

heard nothing nothing to hear 
heard silence 

I climbed the roses were singing 
where the gods were waiting 
blue staircase up in the sky 

but heard nothing nothing to hear 
heard silence silence
