Sun drenched splendor
Sifted by stars
Came to find peace
In the world before Mars

A particle, a wave
No one knew for sure
For who could describe
Something so pure

Yet light we learned
How to speak your name
The giver of hope
The destroyer of shame

For who else could break
The unseeable night
But the wonder of love
Your unbelievable might

By day and by dark
You knew no rest
You flew past wind
To land in the nest

Held by the hands
We knew as One
You knew as He
He knew as Son

I caught a dream one day
In my butterfly net
Scampering through a field
Built for the ones who wear leather
And dance amidst the seas
When the sunflowers are no more


It had wings made for soaring
But a body blessed by dirt
Longing to fly
From the day it was born
There was more to this journey
Than riding on thermals


For struggle you see
Had not spared this
Little dream
Or kept it from the stories
Only told by life's scars


And only amidst a silence
Undisturbed by spring's breeze
Could I find the right eyes
To finally open up to this new dream


How did you become so beautiful, my dear? "By carrying stories and
sharing blessings
Always flying with my faith
For isn't that all
We were ever made to ​do?

A new December moon
Came calling your name
And there I still stood
To listen to Her song

Uncertain for certain
Of what She would say
Amidst a dead darkenss
So silent and unstil

But speak she sure did
So I could lose a lost mind
And open to exhale
What I thought would be air

For it was time to let go
For my mind to give way
It was time to be wrapped
In something other than day

So sleep could birth dreams
That I'd found my twin flame
After a new December moon
Came calling your name

I peered around your pinnae
At a cerumen clogged canal
And popped into your pharynx
With no real rationale

I fought back waves of mucous
And tears from blood shot eyes
Searching for the sickness
The real reason for your cries

Always knowing that your heartbeat
The soul beneath my glove
Was hurt more than your eardrum
And could only heal with love
