In the shadow of her cloud I found shelter from the sun.
She cooled the fire flowing from my pen and taught me to fly.
Mystical music caressed us under a fairy's moon.
I sensed there was more.
The clouds parted, and two minds were soothed in their insanity.
We stared into our reflected images and befriended our inner voices,
Breaking the chains of self doubt.
Quietly I stepped back to check my feelings.
I entered the loneliness that was you in the dark,
Flashing into a world of light, we shared that special place
Where your emotions danced like candle light.
I turned to extend my hand and met a salute.
I was on a parade ground where everyone was on review.
So far away you stood, so strong, in charge, yet so fragile in your balance.
A fellow veteran, I wanted to hug you and say things will be good,
Bonded chains held me back as my head began to swim.
I was swamped with feeling for the twins who would fly.
Their words touched and shrouded me, a curtain of silk on a Cypress tree.
In silent response I retreated back to stand within my heart.
A fog arose and I stepped through the haze in search of a new reality.
I discovered a place where immortality was granted to all who would
open their hearts to romance, tasting of cherries and cream.
A wide open world of mystery and spice, I knew I was home.
Emotions screaming to be freed, I took my pen in hand.
The sea was calling, calling me to return where I flowed with the sand.
Under each waves crest I experience the turbulence of my feelings.
I finally saw my release, and I was free to float beneath the stars.
