Lady of the Dancing Water

Grass in your hair, stretched like a lion in the sun

Restlessly turned, moistened your mouth with your tongue

Pouring my wine, your eyes caged mine glowing

Touching your face, my fingers strayed knowing

I called you lady of the dancing waterOh, lovely lady of the dancing waterBlown autumn leaves shed to the fire where you laid me

Burn slow to ash just as my days now seem to be

I feel you still always your eyes glowing

Remembered hours salt, earth and flowers flowing

Farewell my lady of the dancing water
