The Poet

It takes a mountain and a cloud 
To make a thunderbolt
It takes the earth and sky 
To make a storm
It takes two enemies to make a war
A priest and a sinner to make a church
Every man is made by two others
To make our love it takes both of us my darling
And the song...
The song is made by me alone
The way God invented the world
Every day
