Holy weaves of solstice
Did dry the river's tears
Knelled beneath the ripples
Two eyes once sunk of fear
Am I all the distortion
Or am I what I say
I'm just the scary girl
You loved anyway
But more fool me
Phantom taped to the wall
Now a stranger, as on the eve
I scream at the painting, the house falls so silent
'Neath shouts meant for me
To love all of me
To behold, in despite
Is the seed I must sew
In this only life
This only life
And there you stood, my petals falling
"How shameful," I thought
As we danced, and danced
For the first time in a million fears
I remembered your smile
This all began with me
Unforming the comets and lilies
I'm sacred as they
As you would always say
Would that I had stopped to realize
I was walking beside a dragonfly
An earthly flicker
A world and a life in its secrets
How could I close my eyes in twilight
And forget?
To have met
In a garden
