Wind on Water

A flicker, a whisper You and I in a long distance mystery Of words unspoken A question, a gesture With a meaning we knew before the sequestering Left us guessing I wish I knew How to pass through Along the ripples of the wind on the water To you Mercury in retrograde A messenger lost in a forest glade Just taking time To watch the dragonflies A whole world in the grasses Time moving like molasses Mercury only sighs I wish I knew How to pass through Along the ripples of the wind on the water The wind on the water To you As we travel worlds and landscapes In and out of time Feel the dragon's breath on water Turn your heart toward mine I wish I knew How to pass through Along the ripples of the wind on the water To you To you
