i woke up and i was not alone. i found someone there, her soft smiling lips touching my cheek even as she slept warm and close to me. i waited speechlessly for her to wake, eventually drifting off into slumber. i opened my eyes minutes-weeks-years later to find her bright eyes upon me...
how can i describe it?
she has such presence. such beauty. such undeniable self. i am in awe of my fate.
i wonder about it all. i think of her. i remind myself i am human, that she is human. it doesn't matter. day by day, piece by piece, i am so endeared, my adoration slipping on the doorsteps of love and of fate and i close my eyes and i pray that there is nothing there in the obvious that i am blinded to. i can see her without the pedestals. i peel back my reason and i still find her there inspiring me and embracing me with her arms and her smile. i see her and i dream of flowers and tides and starlight. i want to run to her and run into life and run to the water in song....
bare my spirit
embrace all that i am
steal my heart
swing with me from the center of the room
i will not let go
i will not fall
tell me of fate
tell me of souls and of dreams
of the magic that seizes us all
of water
of life
of love
of spirit
of fire
of stars dancing within us all
i see you shining there
i am so happily blind
