you are the light

I could not resist 

the electromagnetic

radiant divine

the star shine

the mystery that makes

the cosmic sacred

the wondrous portals

to places with scents 

of ancestral homes

and how could I ever be

all that was needed for that 

when my heart wanted only

to have been born 

as an angel's heart

so I had more to bring you

than the weight 

of these scars

you are ethereal and beauty

the sweet song in the wind

and the honey 

that drips from the sun

and I am only a mortal

clawing and scratching

to make each day

but in my dreams 

I have dreamed

to be more than this

like the cripples who dream

they will dance

I am sorry my legs 

were not strong 

for holding me steady

and that I came thinking

that I could just fly

by wishing my wings into ready

and then it would mean

nothing at all

that I could only crawl

because that is 

what love does 

when it is caught

in cosmic attraction

it makes you believe

you have wings

and that you can be all

you are needed to be

as light meeting light

and not the shadow 

that falls

and you are just 

so damn beautiful

I couldn't resist

to try and be more

than I was

when holding love

more infinite than the skies

more lasting than sun

and the moon and the stars

needed the strength of an angel

where there was none

but you

the one I was called

so deeply to love
