Love's Light

Dance upon my clouds
swim amongst my stars
lasso in the moon
and forever light my world
illuminate every crevice of my being
fall towards me
like the mountain rain

Burn like the brightest candle
or an autumnal bonfire high
shine like a distant sun
travel o'er the world
for the fairest flower
guard my nights like Kerberos
and never let me fear

There are so many things that this could be about - I didn't want to put a label on just one specifically. Nice and open-ended, I'll let the reader make the determination. Thanks for the read and comments! ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
