I spend my days moving slowly along the kitchen floor Singing softly and sweetly of the love I've never known And as my song rises to the rafters I pray that one day it might reach you and with long spindling fingers fill the cracks of your body with the feeling you've always known in the center of your soul Down to that secret place where all knowing grows and I pray that it spirals along your spine and out through your velvet eyes as you cry for the honest days wasted and numb on a drunken night I pray that you find through the atmosphere my lyrics and melodies and that even when we are miles away you might sing back to me We may never meet but darling I feel you in the blades of grass that grow from between the ribs of the earth I feel you in that secret place in my sternum in colors of green and gold And as the days pass may sunlight touch your skin as it touches mine Gentle and breaking So tender it makes you cry I pray that that sun will come and tear you apart so that you may be free of your walls So that your body is no longer night So that we may both learn to blossom in whatever season may come Through fire and through seawater May the feeling refine us And bind us In the spirit that surpasses all new and old So brother please hear this song through the cracks of your wall Lover please come down off the ledge and find that we are still all that we said we were when we were swollen and small That we are all that we hoped we'd be when we were naked and filthy in the garden alone Our father was angry but we did not yet know ourselves and we did not yet know the mess to be made We are messes made by the good intent of apathetic friends But darling as I move in the doorway I can promise that this feeling never ends I don't know you yet but I will find you and feel you through the wind in the trees With the voice of the spirit rolling freely through me Can't you see? As I'm singing to you Can't you feel? After the damage is done and they say there is nothing left to do I will come rolling and ringing through you And the divide will be no more Alone together at last clean on the kitchen floor.
This is the holiest form of love I will ever know.
