One

Look for the stars
And I’ll spin you a dream
We can walk through the winds,
And kiss in the rain,
And burn with the skies,
And dance in the dirt...

Let me up close, to your abyss
So we can spin, and then spin some more
As we shed away these clothes,
And leave behind this wretched skin

Oh, dear lover, don’t close your eyes then,
Don’t find your feet or the ground
For we left that world, a long time ago
When we had swayed to the sacred songs
Of love and loss and hurt
And the Gods themselves had stopped to ask,
Who were those two, or was she just one?
That blessed mortal, who with her lover spun,
Who with her lover, lived.
