The summation of all my time spent staring, up into open sky
up into wide blue eyes
With the sun hanging down by your sides.
Reach up into that open bounty, a free country
of twirling and falling,
falling with a smile on my lips at last
of freedom and euphoria, pure exhilaration.
Cityskapes open wide before my wings,
night lights tracing the paths out in front of me as I twist and fall,
grasses reaching up to greet the open air
as I reach down to melt into their embrace.
I breathe free through my very skin, through the kiss
of the air passing my lips.
Unchained I soar, bare of wing or claw,
bearing everything here in this abyss of empty expanse
Rushing past my bones.
Nothing can pull me back to solid ground,
or make me turn around against this world of wilderness.
I dive to feel the life that rushes through me
when my wrists finally meet your fingertips,
the winds that tilt us forward to hold ourselves safe.
And all the beauty will arise when in that moment
our eyes open one more time.
