HoPeS & DReaMs

Son of light/ you changed this life/ when you came forth from within it that winter’s night/a long awaited awe inspiring surprise/ a force of nature/ come to intertwine these lives/ limbs articulated/ features defined/lungs bellowing forth a warriors cries// perfectly alien/ fragilely human/ awestruck in my wonderment for you/ in reverence of you/so deeply and truly in love with you/in only a second or two/ deeper than cartilage and tissue/ deeper than blood through muscle and sinew/ thief of my heart/ now the constant of my mind/ a motivation to change in ways i couldn't have if you hadn't come in time//

and the beautiful thing/ is that / it is not only i /who sings your praises/ we are the many who love you/ a community/ that lovingly devotes to you/ Those of us who love you/ we are a fortress around you/ we wear your hopes as halos/ and our hearts on the wings we use to protect you// we surround you/ ocean's deep and star sky high /committed to ensuring your light will shine into the world//
