"I'll wait for you,"
when we were kids,
you had said.

But Jack's still comatose
and Jill is dead.

You never came.

Someone once asked me
To describe how it felt
To be in love

And I found myself describing
How it felt to be
With you

some nights,
alone in bed
the darkness
was so alive
i swore
i felt it
roaming
around
inside
my
head
and
it's
taken me
this long
to learn
the morning
will always
come,
bearing sun
anyway

Oh, how great would it be
To fall so deeply in love
With the sky,
The clouds
Go out of their way
And firm up,
Netting themselves over the
Heavens,
In the hopes
To shelter me
From hitting
The solid groud.

I am a tree
That is still learning how to
Keep it's roots
Under moist soil
And away from little tripping feet.
I'm used to
Yawning
In the morning
Stretching
My branches
Until they have
Dropped the apple
Slightly too far from the tree.
And though I don't have
Much air
In my hair,
The leaves still fall.
Trust me when I say
It isn't worth it being this
Tall.
Sometimes I would long to pay
To not see everything.
The view from up here
Is ironically
Frightening.

Climb these heights
And I can't promise you no
Twigs in your hair
Or scratches on your arms.
This bark is rough
And these leaves,
Stubborn.
But the next time you
Stumble upon these roots,
Remember that I am the tree
That isn't all it looks.

Magical dew drops falling from the sky
Winter whispers in a dark and different way

You will find the nebulas dancing
in and out of sight

Real or imagined
we slip and slide
while the giant planets
sleep in the solar night

Together we dance
and we bathe in
the space of time

Do you know who you are?

How you shine

In the upside down
In the moonlight
where the mermaids swim

This land of make believe
The creatures here know your name

Wing-ed things calling from afar
their magic burnt on my soul
forever

Ancient warlocks casting shadows
Their black cats singing
to the violins

Now it's raining big blue diamonds

I see your reflection
in my shadow
guiding me
through life

This time
I know how to
make you stay

We'll swim in the oceans
of the magic of space
and we'll shine

We'll shine
