Spirit's Past

As I sit and watch it,

Ravenous, bloodthirsty, gentle,

As I sit and think,

The flame burns bit by bit.

----------

This dance is like my life,

Anger, sorrow, joy,

You are the light that shines,

Among this pain and strife.

----------

This ritual is my soul,

Alone, vulnerable, pure,

To you alone I drop defences,

For you alone, make me whole.

----------

This sadness is my own,

Bared, proud, scared,

But there you stand my angel,

As I cry, you take me home.

----------

This joy belongs to us both,

Sacred, scared, suspense,

We fly on the wings of this world,

So to you I swear this oath.

----------

I'm terrified of this way,

Winding, alone, unsure,

Eternity and you is all I want,

Me and you for all our days.
