"If words could save us (and they can, my darling)
I would whisper in the chambers of your ears
Every wistful sound (like the warblings
Of the wood thrush) until) (my wren) even
The small boys who voices are like angels
Would cry for more, and you (my swan) would sigh
Like the sun setting behind the ocean floor.

If touch could save us (and it does, my love)
I would take the wounds of time and touch them
Until the soul (my sweetness) shines with the light
Of God in the newness of now. Healing is
The only language of love (my lamb) for
Wherever we have touched, the tree that grows
Will be blessed (my bliss) and the fruit of that tree
Will be life (my love) the fruit of that tree will be life."
