Spirit by Firebird

Spirit
lost Spirit,
part

of my ancient heart

what

can I give you?

dear one,
hold close in your arms
for me

the joy

of your eyes

first opening

the sun's whisper
lifting the grass

each morning

this is what

I need

lost Spirit
ribbon of snow

drifting

past

stones and shadow
how

will I find you?

dear one,
hold close in your arms

for me
the melody

that makes a deer leap

in spring

the song you sing
when love is

the only language

the weightless light

that floats you

through the sky

and when your arms

can reach no more
and you see

with your own heart

blindly

then

you will surely find me
