Holy Ground - Anjani

My lover stands on holy ground

My lover stands on holy ground

In a scarred and barren field

Where my weakness is revealed

He holds space for me to heal

I carry him inside my heart

I carry him inside my heart

I would know him anywhere

Sandalwood and vetiver

Underneath the moonlit stair

I’m a river gone wild

Sometimes woman, sometimes child

Pressed against my lover’s skin

I breathe out, he breathes in

His hands are strong upon my back

Hands are strong upon my back

When I feel him move inside

Tracing circles deep and wide

The mystery becomes untied

What my lips have kissed is mine

What my lips have kissed is mine

The rest he offers willingly

Life and blood and company

Diamond water alchemy

I’m a river gone wild

Sometimes woman, sometimes child

Pressed against my lover’s skin

I breathe out, he breathes in

My lover’s light will guide me home

My lover’s light will guide me home

In his arms where I can rest

A quiet hush, a soft caress

My lantern in the wilderness
