The Kiss

Love rising from the mists,
 Promise me this and only this,
 Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
 Sweet communion of a kiss
 Sun sifting through the grey
 Enter in, reach me with a ray
 Silently swooping down, just to show me
 How to give my heart away
 Once a crystal choir
 Appeared while I was sleeping
 And called my name
 And when they came down nearer
 Saying, "Dying is done,"
 Then a new song was sung
 Until somewhere we breathed as one
 And still I hear their whisper
 Stars bursting in the sky
 Hear the sad nova's dying cry
 Shimmering memory, come and hold me
 While you show me how to fly
 Sun sifting through the grey
 Enter in, reach me with a ray
 Silently swooping down, just to show me
 How to give my heart away
 Lately sparkling hosts
 Come fill my dreams, descending
 On fiery beams
 I've seen 'em come clear down
 Where our poor bodies lay,
 Soothe us gently and say,
 "Gonna wipe all your teas away."
 And still I hear their whisper...
 Love, rising from the mists
 Promise me this and only this,
 Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
 Sweet communion of a kiss
