Ashe - Songs of Water

Morning when she curtains

reveal an infant lay

Before the day breaks the

gods with its backbone in the soil

Let me reach my fingers

up to touch your face

Before words like bricks and mortar

rebuild the structures of the day

Let my pure devotion

be refined, in tenants of a face

Statues with teeth and collars

Turn to angels with rays above their brow

When you like thieves and robbers

Break through the systems of the now

Till the skin is built like

untarnished I am by the sun

Still these moments keep moving so fast

I can all see them turn to ash

Peering out from the

tents we pitched in the woods

Hundreds for the occassion

caught fire like you told me their would

Still these moments keep moving so fast

I can almost see them turn to gold
