Love Like Water

This love
Like water of life
Fell for the summer
Home in each other
We’ll finally be safe for winter

We nursed an infant stream
Headwaters crystalline
I knew you survived this time
Sucked stones dry for the divine
Might have rose a thousand lives
To meet this ocean wide

With this love
Like water
That might frost over anger
Like this childless night
Be born to remember

We nursed an infant stream
Headwaters crystalline
I knew you survived this time
Sucked stones dry for the divine
Might have rose a thousand lives
To meet this ocean wide

And in the vision
Black snakes
Headless and hollow
Hang from the soul’s gate
Twins shriek in unison
The language of the land does follow
And bison like mountains
Blooming with foxglove
Circle around the calves of love
Hallowed dove
I found you
Not a moment too soon

This love
Like water of life
Fell for the summer
Home in each other
We’ll finally be safe for winter
