Love Song

"Elena"

I wanna be sanctified
in white cotton sheets
wanna live in the light
that I see in the cool ancient stream

with Elena

Gonna build me a house
on morning's hillside
amongst the wildwood gusts
that come blowing into our eyes

for Elena

there's a psalm that I hear
as I walk thru her yard
a name I've longed to whisper
a life I've been waiting to start

I've washed the ash from my face
fought the ghost that don't care
Now I open her door
and I climb the stairs............
