Water may soothe my stomach
But you soothe my soulI wait for you
As the flower waits for the bee
As the sea waits for the sun
As the shells wait for the tideI want you near
As the tide wants the moon
As Jupiter wants miracles
As Venus wants my heartI think of you
As Pluto thinks of the sun
As the cocoon thinks of the butterfly
As the candle thinks of the smokeI yearn you
As the crab yearns the shell
As my words crave your ear
As my eyes crave yoursYou have your sisters bright eyes
And your brothers kind soulI look for you
As the fish look for shadow
As the dust looks for home
As the light looks for greenI talk of you
As Mercury talks of change
As the Star talks of hope
As the Magician talks of desireI want to hold you
As my hands hold prayer
As hair holds memories
As Orpheus holds his harpI love you
As my blood loves my heart
As your eyes love my laugh
As my smile loves yours
