i teach you to hold the moon in the cup of your palm

to cradle the petal of a rose

THIS is your lover

let HERE be the kiss

find the dance where you stand and

a garden in your belly

for all i need you to know is NOW

howling at the night

where to LISTEN in silence

is the prayer forever calling

and forgetting one thing never

within you is the RIVER

(The warrior potato bug told us this…)
