You've kept me astounded by what I see,

Protruding a spirit into my heart

Like fingers wrapped there tightly around me

So that a piece of it would n'er depart.

A gentle hold of your palms from a spring

To wash in me with a mountain water,

Caressed by your hands until I am clean.

Standing upright again in the river,

From what I have feared before, nothing now.

Looking across into your solemn eyes

Spoken in silence tonight of your vow,

Shed then onto me that the blue sky cries.

Your reflection fades into the ripples,

But I'll carry your love inside of me.
