Water Spirit (a poem by Lyra)

My dear friend Lyra wrote this. Recently rediscovered, it was shared with me and because I instantly loved it, onto the web journal it went . . .(and it has the words "ocean goddess" in it!)

Mountain cascades
winter ice
vapor disappearing
darkness into hovering cloud
bursting, washing, clearing

Smallest droplets
on the threads
of a spider's weavings
droplets far as eye can see
ocean heaving, swelling

Water spirit
source of life
ocean goddess flowing
streaming, cleansing
blood of earth
river-veined, betstowing

Where Have You Been? (a song)

What? What did I do?
To deserve this kind of love from you?
How? How good must I have been,
To call you now, my sweetest friend?
When? When was I a saint?
God covers us with golden paint,
And Where? Where have you been?
It's good with you, with me again.

I see you clearly now
standing at my future,
I can only see you,
smiling at what you reflect.

There are no doors between us
that you won't open wide
every time I knock you say,
come on in, baby, come inside.

What? What did I do?
To deserve this kind of love from you?
How? How good must I have been,
To call you now, my sweetest friend?
When? When was I a saint?
God covers us with golden paint,
And Where? Where have you been?
It's good with you, with me again.

Sometimes you just know
you really just know
it's the stuff of fairy tales,
I don't care if no one else believes.

We believe enough for now,
we'll make it somehow,
day spins into day~
and we won't throw this chance away.
hold another close,
see what matters most
I want to know,
where have you been?

And I see you clearly now
standing at my future,
I can only see you
smiling at what you reflect.

There are no doors between us
that you won't open wide
every time I knock you say,
come on in, baby, come inside.

What? What did I do?
To deserve this kind of love from you?
How? How good must I have been,
To call you now, my sweetest friend?
When? When was I a saint?
God covers us with golden paint,
And Where? Where have you been?
It's good with you, with me again.
