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
