the golden thread

Bring me the scissors and the golden thread
The pins of silver and white
And I will weave a cloth of stars
To wrap you in tonight.

For love creates a word in me
That breathes in empty rooms
And now the veil of absence blows
And here the iris blooms.

My tears distilled in Venetian glass
As deep as the midnight hour,
I wait to pour on your feet with joy
As you come in silent power.

Bring me the scissors and the golden thread
The pins of silver and white
And I will weave a cloth of stars
To wrap you in tonight.
