Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow But let the white dove sing Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete Hold hands out to greet, let not the swan be brought low For all that is moving, is moved by her hands She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands Life, life remembering Well here you are now, O now you are here Well how has it been so far? The hair and the fur Lemons, frankincenses and myrrh For all that is moving is moved by her hands She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea Silent shining thoughtless free But close your eyes to find the golden flower And open them to see the sunshine shower Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask ah, what can water be She beareth thought, she beareth visions Speaking truth in contradictions Dreams of pain, dreams of laughter And every action follows after O second self, O gate of the soft mystery I'll love you if you'll love me, O guide me With the gold of Gabriel's wing grant me the tongue that all the earth does sing Vibrating light forever one the sun The book of life is open to us There'll be no secrets left between us
