A Lover's Song

Give me fire and I will sing you morning

Finding you heart

And a birth of fruit

For you, a flame that will stay beauty

Song will take us by the hand

And lead us back to light.

Give me fire and I will sing you evening

Asking you water

And quick breath

No farewell wind like a willow switch

Against my body

But a voice to speak

In a dark room.
