I prefer hedges to walls
I listen to birds and you call
Mysterious ways yielding to us
Boundaries soft by our lust
Our gates turn through each other
Passages warm, we are lovers

I'd rather build bridges than moats
A pleasant path joining us both
I'd rather flow with your tide
Don't struggle upstream and hide
Paddling gently, your channel to learn
I'll stretch your soft keel stem to stern

To your stern, your sweet, sweet stern
On land it's your rear, your sweet, sweet stern
Oh, how we learn, your sweet, sweet stern

An afternoon playing in the fields
Or deeply exploring your head
Is better than taking the short road to town
"Journeys not goals" like we said

An answer, a probe, a shared explanation
Dreaming of questions, you are so patient
We take our turns making love
Spiral paths like two doves
And I know at the centers we circle 'round
We will merge what we found
