Healing Waters

In lips caressed with praising, sound its fill,        
Which fall and leave mine filled with deeper yearn.        
That lift again to nape of sweet stream’s spill          
Descend again in urgent deeper's burn.      
         
Which fall and leave mine, filled with deeper yearn,        
From heaven’s shown embrace on rosy peak,        
Descend again in urgent deeper’s burn,        
To dire land, the pilgrims’ doorway seek.        
         
From heaven’s shown embrace on rosy peak,       
Long have I missed the fount I’ve never known.        
To dire land, the pilgrim doorway seek,       
My mouth and tongue in fore-graced spells intone.        
         
Long have I missed the fount I’ve never known,        
A healing croft that’s sought to cleanse all need.        
My mouth and tongue in fore-graced spells intone,  
A consecrating holy wash concede.        
         
A healing croft that’s sought to cleanse all need,        
Through capstone’s gentle arch I enter tall,    
A consecrating holy wash concede.        
With soaking worship sacraments enthrall.        
         
Through capstone’s gentle arch, I enter tall        
In lips caressed with praising, sound its fill.        
With soaking worship sacraments enthrall          
That lift again to nape of sweet stream’s spill.
