Dec 2016
The corset of night loosens
exposing the flesh of light
Silver bells dangle from the sky
winter tidings
Dreams uplifting the soul

Dark skies
Lull the stars to bloom
A waterfall
Upon fallow ground
Like shimmering rain

One by one
I shoot them down
Gather them
Like seashells
Hear your voice echo

In every one
Clasp the sound
In my lungs
I breathe you
A rhapsody of life

Each breath reflecting
Each beat of my heart
I pull them closer
Like dreams in the mind
Internalize your soul

And burn with love
A yearn to be the only sky
That holds you
The only earth
To embrace your flame
Your Home
