If you decide to receive her
Empty the bottle
She's your columbine
The Seven Gifts of Aquilegia 
 
Reside in her features
Drink of her waters
You can't deny
Your spirit's filled with all her radiant

Wind chimes and tinctures
On the Mesa she flowers
As the Peregrine's eye
Recalls your shape as her companion

Young wandering creature
Think of her offer
To lay beside
Her fragrant notes beyond the midnight

How Many Roads Can You Choose
Bound To Your Forgotten Rules
Nobody Knows

Should your persuasion be summoned 
From the ether my lover
Tamed through time out of mind
Behold her kiss for there's no other

Retire this burning house with a smile
For the three fold world 
Will leave you tired and broken

She's your mirror by nature
Fertile in soil 
Wash the sea foam from your child
Brought on the night and all her longing

As your resolve becomes sacred
Saveur the oils
Of her botanical skin
Left on the dew found in the morning

How Many Roads Can You Choose
Bound To Your Forgotten Rules
Nobody Knows
