From where do you come?

With your mighty flame
With which you awaken within me
This effervescent heat
This burning desire for sinking deep
Between layers and layers of wakefulness
Awakened to the senses of an organic machine
Feelers
Tethered outwards
Exploring oceans of sights
Of sounds
Of history

To meet with open hands
And feel the healing touch
Of one that is eager to greet you too
Fingers that interlock
Finding certainty in the company
That eases your sense of loneliness
To be for the smallest of moments
Not alone in this vast and echoing hall of stars

Where do you come from
You burning candle in the darkness
That lights the shadow so that I might see
When did my eyes open
And is it your hand I feel
Are they yours
These footsteps I follow
These lines that I trace
And these questions that I am asking?

When my fate is due
And the end comes for me
With its return to sleep
Will you be there
Waiting?
