Light and Dark

How can I justify my feelings for you when you are light and I am dark?

I am chaos while you are peace. The two can never co-exist.

From the depths of hell, I watch you soar amongst the heavens.

Longing to be the clouds that your wings brush against.

If you were to glance down to me, I’d hide from your eyes.

I’d never want an unclean thing to pierce your sight.

A shadow covers me and I lift my eyes.

There you are, descending towards me.

Forgive my unworthiness before your perfection.

You take my hand in yours and lift me to my feet.

Those wings I spent so much time admiring unfurl majestically before me.

I fearfully cling to you, but you smile and soon we are high above the darkness.

My eyes are shut tight and both my arms are wrapped tightly around you.

You whisper softly and my hold loosens.

I open my eyes and we are far above the Earth!

The clouds I envied for so long are now my friends in the sky.

You lift me higher and let me glide above you.

Your light reflecting off my dark creates a terrifyingly beautiful silhouette across the heavens.

We pull one another close as we escape from the atmosphere.

Each star will be our journey.

Eternity our destination.
