Twin Flames

And the wind came

And it brought me back here

To the beginning of some strange field or fear

In the middle of a year

At the end of a day

In the opening of some hour

To the blink of a moment

For a fraction of a second

I felt your eyes, I felt your hands there

I felt your feelings, I held them trembling in mid-air

In the motionless sky, in the moonless night

At the speed of light, we were never really here

You opened your heart

It opens the way it always opens

Through the front door

Soft fingers pull away the curtains

In the endless night

Where's nothing left

To say or be afraid of

Only love and breath

And the rain came

And the thunder clapped

We opened our mouths

Stuck out our tongues

And then collapsed

In laughter

In something other than that

In the flickering flutter of two beating hearts

Of twin flames

Oh, my love, I walk in the way I always walk in

Through the front door

Soft fingers pull away the curtains

In the endless night

I held you so tightly

Then again, more tightly

Till there was nothing left

Oh, my love, my grief, my shame, the stars above me

We were never lost

We were only hiding

Waiting out the storm

Till there was nothing left

To say or be afraid of

Only love and breath
