I have made myself small
Hiding, cringing inward
Still, I hear you
Fingers of light teasing gently at the edges of the world I allowed myself
Peaking out behind flinching eyes
Enraptured in you, tendrils of wind ruffle the feathering of wings
Launching, power in the joy that springs from my lips
As storms rage, cleansing
Called forth
To leap laughing into your embrace
Flight and fall entwined
As lovers are, as flame and wood
Height and depth play out together, dizzying dance
In the tender sternness of your benefic gaze
Rooted Flame and a Deep Wellspring
