Remember the wind
The breath of heaven
as it lifted you up
on its wing

Remember the sea
Hear the whisper of its waves

Remember the ashes
From which you arose
like a new flame

Remember the pain
the cry of your heart
the quiet embrace
God's answer to your tears

What is the song of your heart
in this moment?
Let it be joy!

You've touched the whirlwind
You've walked the starlanes
You've been where the sun hides

Remember!!!

You talked about the hours
I know what you mean
Two cocoons spinning around each other
Waiting to be born

Nothing personal was the agreement
After awhile

It gets lonely
With nothing else to do but be inside

Not wanting to hide
Or collide
Do we really have that much time?

Two cocoons spinning
You became a butterfly
I became a moth
You flew west
I flew north.

Children,
  conceived in perfection

Born
  to disappoint

When the
  idea

And the reality
  —collide
