HER

HER
before your arrival
I was nothing more than a thought
existing without living
and breathing without inhaling
I was seeing through a dirty window
and hearing the echoes of a life unlived

then you arrived

in you I have been reborn
I am relearning how to live my life
and seeing the beautiful colors
through my tinted windows of you
I am the echo I used to hear
and that empty existence feels
like my imagination or an ugly nightmare

you give me a direction to walk in
and purpose for going that way
you make everything make sense
even the nonsensical things
I feel free to express the inner me
as you embrace my spirituality
without hesitation or fear

SHE

yes...i completely
undeniably know that before you
i was trapped within myself
and since you stepped out of my fantasy
and became my reality
you have unlocked my vault...
the place where i keep myself
from myself
and you showed me how to walk out with no chains.

my eyes have seen the glory
of you when you breathe into me
and i see the woman i have been dreaming about
for all these years.
my whole life
lived up til now with no expectations
and no promises
no guarantees
because without those there are no disappointments

spiritually
i walk with you...
seeing the same things and knowing the truth.
combined favor and vision deposit courage into our souls
to continue walking forward
towards the same Savior
who brought me to you.

WE

twin flames rising
entwining so that you can't see
where HER began and SHE ends
simpatico
unified
joined
to create this perfectly true reality
that feels like dreaming ... wide awake
