You, I see you time-troubled
On clusters of grass all bundled
Standing in the grove, the middle
Would you like to solve a riddle?
Do you still see me?
Darkening the white cathedral doors
I showed you my heart, show me yours
Beyond the withering winds at rest
I turn to the south, heading west
To take up another salted secret
From the chartless ocean, an egret
Have you another name?
Heaven is not so far from reach
Lying furthest from the furthest beach
I leapt forth from the rock of mystery
I pursued something nameless in the sea
Faith has such a simple quality
That it kills that instinct of death
You, I knew you like sugary lakes
Breaking bread for its limpid taste
Anything true deserves a reprisal
Like God, my love, your survival
Did we know each other?
God is real and He haunts you everywhere
Because you speak sacred tongues He prepared
