> The words that race from lips
> So fast they can't be caught
> The depths suddenly plumbed
> When rhythm's lost in thought
> The knowing all and being all
> Of vine leaves worn by right
> Wake the everyday futility
> Of penetrating night
> The searching for that reason
> Through the pursuit of the heart
> Before innocence is overthrown
> As the goddess plays a part
> The oneness of our love
> When myself returns my sight
> That experience so exquisite
> Immortality's bite
> The chasing down the years
> Catch the magical in print
> Before the age old suffering
> Makes memory extinct
> Bodies loved must minds unlove
> Can kisses not unite
> The meeting of us lovers
> Cast in virgin light
> The unknowing of what they do to you
> The unfeeling of all that hurt
> Humanity is a stranger race
> Communication inert
> Soft dance thru the midst of them
> Side stepping from their fight
> Intent on the life's pursuit
> A dream born by right
>
