the sky was covered
in quiet darkness
yet the stars shined in all their brilliance.
we waited for sleep to arrive
but instead
we roamed.
melody and rhythm
to a song only we can hear.
we begin writing.
we begin climbing.
outside us
the darkness cloaks us, hides us,
the air pulsing,
crisp,
alive.
yet we still climb.
gravity begins to dissipate.
anticipation.
breath escapes the lungs
exhilarating joy is unleashed.
skin begins to melt
in a pool of heat
beneath touch
beneath caress
we become seamless,
weightless
all bindings to earth
have broken loose
and we are carried
into paradise.
altitude clears mind, body, soul
speaking of souls
they dance, meld as one,
create a flame
that turns blue.
we linger at the top
breath him in
breathe her out
slowly,
ever so softly,
completely,
we make our way
downward.
outside the sky is dark
yet you could never
see such bright stars
