Spirit Flame



  You are woven amongst the tapestry of ebony night,
   you are the sea of silver waves,
    Upon every autumn leaf, you are the brightening color,
   upon the ground you are the stony road before me.


  You are the light reflected on the mirror of marble
   that ignites the silent grave,
  you are the amber age settling into
  the flowing blades of grasses,
  Upon every inch of wind
    you are every fragile scent, collected
   before time began.
  You are every whisper that was ever breathed
   and every echo that was ever patterned into the
  deeply grounded earth.

  
  The blue of your eyes is every shade that ever
   touched morning gold or salted water
   or freshly fallen rain.
  The silk of your flesh is every spindly web ever woven,
   every velvet petal,
    every natural cloth ever formed.


   Your voice is all of the songs ever sung
    by every lulling bird,
  Your spirit is the veil of life that surrounds me
   at every moment of every day
    you are all that I hold near,
    you are within my very essence,
    every strand of my long red hair.

    You are all things to me...
