i have come to drag you out of yourself, and take you in my heart. i have come to bring out the beauty you never knew you had and lift you like a prayer to the sky.

pathways

Understand, I’ll slip quietly
away from the noisy crowd
when I see the pale
stars rising, blooming over the oaks.

I’ll pursue solitary pathways
through the pale twilit meadows,
with only this one dream:
You come too.
