.  
     two        vines    
  wrap          around
each          other
and     grow
together
into
one new
life     form
as                 if
they           had
never         even
known       life
without one
another

I am not                      
        deep like                         
the sea              
shallow    
                       like a              
                                                 ­                   rainbow                                       ­                                                                   I am a            
                                                                ­                wild river          
                                                                ­                      I move       
                                                     ­                        mountains           
                                                                ­    that I follow                     
                                                     standing stones                      
                                                   like broken bones                                
                           ­               show me where to go                          
                                    ­    deep within my soul I know                     
                           the       ocean      is     my      home

if I had a child
I would be afraid
of leaving them alone
with anyone
even me

something could go wrong
there are a thousand ways how

I can see it now

I would always be
afraid

who are you?
who am I?
two reflections
eye to eye

out of time
out of control
staring into each other's souls

fire in the sky
sign from the gods
time forever moving on
some imagine the night beyond
some dance in the light of the setting Sun

one day I will wish
I had told you how I feel
but I think you know

life and death
create     destroy
different name
the same game

everything
real         alive
all must play
to survive
