touch me

from within.

reach to the very depths

of my soul and

with unfettered wings

lead me to the sun,

the gilded edges stained

with gold.

liberate me

from the dark,

where gawking 

shadows hide;

let loose the flame

of holy fire like

consumed beings 

in the even tide.

 with nonchalance

we run to escape,

 feet barely touching

the earth-

here's to us!

here's to the brave!
stripped naked of 
every carnal worth.

but alas!

in sojourning

the end of time has 
caught up with  us,

as we stood in the
 fields of wheat 

your hand in mine,

we flew to the heritage of

the free at last.

so now...

hold me

as we trek the

rest of the land,

the breadth of the world

in the palm of 
our scarred hands.
where love transcends
yet remain unuttered,
where songs flow like
the river wild,
where light consumes
our whole being
forever in you and me
will abide.
