We split apart in the beginning
During the great expansion
Hearts breaking open
With each loss growing larger
With each good-bye softening
With each morning shining
Though cold dark times we flailed
The great failings
Huge mistakes
Mispoken words
Storms surrounded us
Blowing strong against us
Until we were reduced
Bare bones and sparkling spirits
Wrestling demons and decisions
There was that perfect hello
When all that had been awry
Clicked into place
The great turning of keys in locks
Chains falling unneeded to the ground
Now we fly through clear blue skies
Skimming and diving and circling
Choosing and creating a nest in a tall tree
Under the eaves
Under the daytime moon
We dream soft and pure
True and good
Of that peaceful lake within
Whose shore we never leave behind
Again
