it’s in the way you said it.
you reached out with courage.
you knew without asking,
without small talk.
when can i see you again,
as a statement.
using your power to find me,
to crush me.
i’m humbled by your beginning.

speechless
where are you going?
oh precious soul,
priceless
where are you going?
… speak to me.
with your mysterious vision
your body–its inflections,
its words
you come to depend
that it’s always
listening
fly now into
your life
which drizzles
like the wind, cleansing

speechless
speechless
your awe unseen
or hidden
your force
your battle
protects me, invisible

the fire in you
how is the fire in you
the fire in me
at times when i least
expect it to be?
you lead
i follow
when your steam, your inferno
catches me…
in a moment i blaze…
and you know the truth
whether you
created your moment
for me or not
