On this day before Easter you are the comet
and the virgin mother


Oh my love
my comet setting love
oh my love
my spirit rising love
oh my love
oh my love
oh my love
oh my love
and I went outside my house my love
my shaman’s hut my love
deep in retreat
as it became darker
I saw the comet born in the sky my love
I knew it was only you my love
flashing across the nighttime sky
as my spirit lover
to come to me
in each breath
and I knew you were alive
and bright as a newborn star
and you were flying across the sky my love
as your owl
as your angel
your body alight
your tail on fire
flashing at me as you flew to me
oh my lover
I know this is true

oh my love
and tomorrow is Easter
and you fly into my heart my love
at dinner with a rabbi and an old spirit
and sing to me
“oh my love
the story of the spirit lovers
is that an ordinary man
and an ordinary woman
saw each other
within a moment
and fell in love beyond perfectly
right within their ordinary lives my love
she looked at him my love
and surrendered
and let her little dove
out from her open heart my love
and he took it so sweetly
and that at once my love
the angel of love
Michael
saw her below him
a young girl
so beautiful my love
and fell in love with her
as she let her dove fly free
flashing across the nighttime sky my love
and he fly down
as his owl
and made love to her
as his spirit of light
and she became pregnant
with celestial fire
and her baby was the son of the spirit
and was the perfectly loved baby
worshipped from birth as him
and she became she who gardened us from above
and he was the one filled with light
and it was the spirit lovers making love
and the ordinary man and ordinary woman at once
and us my love
and she was the one

oh my love
and I sang to you
oh my love
the most beautiful gift
I have ever received
was her touching my eyes
I was deeply asleep
a child lover
and she touched each of my eyes
first my left
then my right
she touched my closed eyelids
and as she touched me
lightning came from her finger tips
it flashed across the nighttime sky my lover
and in a moment
I saw that you were her
that you were the goddess
and the virgin mother
and I fell to your feet
and worshipped you
and was instantly cleansed
purified beyond time and space my love
within her perfect love
and I loved you then
beyond perfectly
and forever
oh my lover
I do

oh my love
and she sang to me
oh my love
and as you are him
and you
and I am her
and me
and we are them on high
and the most ordinary people at once
and our baby is him
and he
then she is alive on earth
as me
and he is alive above
as you
he rises again
everytime we breathe
and he is born
everytime we make love

oh my love
and I sang to you
and as he rises
and you flash across the nighttime sky to me my love
you are her on earth
exploding everywhere with each breath
and I am him
as I love you perfectly
as see you as her
on this day before Easter
you are the comet
and the virgin mother
impregnated by the spirit of love
and as he fell in love with you
and you became her my love
and as he made love to you
as every woman my
she was seen
and born
and worshipped
and alight
and he rose
oh my love
we do.
