When they kissed for the first time we were born

Oh my love
my distant memory love
oh my love
my sacred site love
you take me to the holy place my love
where we first made love
where he came in on the spiral
where I first heard the owl's call
and I kneel and pray
I give thanks to her
for bringing you to me
for letting us be the spirit lovers
for letting me look into your eyes
for one second
and for letting me see
the dappled light on your face
coming through the straw hat
like her first starlight
oh my love
if I didn't fall in love with you then
I would have now

oh my love
swirling upwards
into the whirlwinds of her soul
I kiss you again
and wash your body again
in quiet purification
I know this site is sacred for ever more
we hear the wind chimes ring again
and announce the spirit lovers
born on earth
he finds on old wind chime
and picks it up
and giggles
it is the one
she rang
when we were born

and now
on the dock
I see him now almost four
and see how far we have come
we have come from being ordinary
to being spirit lovers
I sing to you
"did you know my love
when we first walked up to the house
and kissed in her light
that we would become the spirit lovers?"
you sang to me
"we have always been the spirit lovers my love
we have been lovers
since she gave birth to the earth
since the first light
since her first kiss,
when the spirit lovers kissed for the first time
we were born
when they first made love
we were born
when they had their first baby universe
we were born
oh my spirit lover
we do"
and we leave
the day is soft
no work done
perfect peace just being in your light
perfect peace being loved by you
and loving you beyond perfectly
perfect peace
just feeling this sacred place
and all the memories
of them coming to earth
again.
