she came into your life
to escape her own
wearing beads in her hair
and poetry in her soul

she was a priestess
with life her cathedral
all soft curves and hard opinions
health and environment
and how can you eat animals?

her knees sunk deep in your mind
above her only sky

she makes love to life
with enough left over for you
you say I love you
she says live for now, live for you
don't let life pass by unnoticed

she ignited a fire inside
and you fear going mad
so you hold on with all your might
eventually driving her away
in leaving she says I love you

life is simple now
and something to worship

you pray for the earth
as you think back to those sweet days
you have a disciple of your own
she says I love you
and you say
live for now, live for you
