Birds & Fishes
And we dance to the light of this candle,
sharing secrets and heartaches and smiles,
pretending the distance between us
is only 10,000 short miles.
Ethereal haven of starlight
evaporates all but the soul
so we dance in the candle's reflection,
for a moment two halves become whole.
But the light of the candle must dwindle
and likewise our moment must fade
leaving us to return to the ashes
and dust of which mortals are made.
Come dance in the light of this candle
rekindled anew in the dawn.
and we'll dance like the fires which made us
'til once more it's magic is gone.
And forever, I offer this promise:
So long as there's morning and night,
so long as the world holds one candle,
I'll be dancing with you in it's light.
There are far greater tragedies in every life than being in love, no matter how painful or impossible the circumstances- for example, not being in love.
