The falcon flies alone

I started on this recently after watching Tales from Earthsea again. I yet again fell in love with the song called Teru no Uta (Teru's theme). Search for it on youtube, with Japanese audio.

To fully understand this, you will have to have read the books about Earthsea bu Ursula Le Guin.

Here is the text:

Far, far above the clouds
Against the setting sun
A falcon flies alone
Soaring in the wind
I hear his lonely cry
So sad must he be
Riding the silent wind
A falcon flies alone
Reaching out with his wings
Grasps the empty sky
Riding the silent wind
Never can he rest
What is it within my heart
None can ever know
A heart like a falcon’s
Is this very heart
What is it within my heart
None can ever know
Lonely falcon in the empty sky
I walk alone along deserted country roads
Walking with me side by side
You are always there
I feel your loneliness
Lonely you must be
Crickets whispering in the grassy fields
You walk there by my side
You walk the path with me
But you never say a word
Never do you speak
What is it within my heart
None can ever know
Here innside this heart
That walks its path alone
What is within my heart
None can ever know
The sadness of one
Who always is alone

I think of this as being about Sparrowhawk. A character. That is why I have drawn a sparrowhawk instead of a falcon, like in the lyrics and title. Falcons fly alone.. but I came to think of the fact that threatens our planet today, and found out that it could symbolize that as well.

So there you are.
