She gently lifts the glass
to her lips
and raises her eyes to mine.
I smile into the blue
of her eyes
and cover her hand with mine.
She licks salt from the glass
with her tongue
and touches her lips to mine.
I hold her close and feel
her heart race
and I thank the Lord with mine.
And..
A jump in time
A bend in space
A lurch of mind
A change in phase.
What now says the warrior?
What now says the sage?
What now says the maiden?
What now says the page?
Who controls the higher power?
Who decrees the moon and sun?
Who wields the sword of light divine?
Who decides when time is done?
One who rules the highest heavens
One who shines with brightest flames
One who is Lord God Almighty
Who is Name above all names.
