A Heart in Which You Stay

Space has unfolded as does a rose And within it’s petals we stand holding each other In our arms looking deeply into one another’s eyes Our wings at rest moving in the gentle winds of time Our love grows as the petals fall Turning back ‘til we stand on the stem of a rose I grasp you tighter into my arms And fall backward off of the stem We fall for what seems forever As the world reaches up for us my wings flare out Catching pockets of air while I hold you closer Still the world grabs for us lessening Our bodies angle upward toward the night sky Our lips lock tightly and your wings stretch open wide Arching our bodies straight up Until we are just a silhouette against the moon We stay there motionless The kiss still lasting Our bodies rotate as our wings close around us Pressing our souls together ‘til we are one Together we float as one being Gazing down on the world below Casting flames down upon it Burning the lands and oceans The fire spread quickly ‘til ash is left of the world We glide down landing on the embers As new life grows where our feet touch Bringing forth a new world Fresh and new full of opportunities
