As we lie together
Worlds apart
Seek shelter
With me.
Weave your
Stolen freedom
Into a new dream;
Between skipped
Heartbeats,
Show me
A world burning
Only with
Your fire.
My sweet sublimity,
Take hold of this
Outstretched hand –
And let me lead you
To shelter.
Rest for a moment.
You have fought
Hard won wars
To the bitter edge
Of sanity;
For us.
See your
Ancestors smile.
