12 - ONCE

(inspired by Rumi)

Once I was quiet and peaceful And thoughtful and shy. But you stole me heart And you filled me instead with the sky.

I dance and I spin

Free as the wind.

All I do Is think of you.

I tried not to fall And did all that I could to resist.

But nothing would work And I fell in a breath and a kiss,

Into the sun.

Now we are one.

When you came to me

I was firewood

And you were the fire. Now I am smoke And the incense of burning desire.

We're here and we're there.

We're everywhere.
