Was it you
who blew South winds
into my shivering soul?
Was it you
who sent fire
to warm my icy coals?

Was it you
who came calling
from the mist and haze?
Was it you
who dipped my heart in love
and let it slowly braise?

Was it you
who whispered
in cracks before the dawn?
Was it you who
burst inside me
and revived my lily swan?

Was it you
who came to seal my fate
to catch my wands of eight
to sing and chime
like once upon
from end of times—
to live
just you and me
alone and free
was it you?
