A Sunset Bottle

A way to reach your hope

a dream that didn't fall

began in mist,

went on our different ways,

apart,

and yet together,

if not inside your soul

where could I live

never get old,

reborn,

fire still

as the snow,

a world of wonder

opened to believe,

magic asunder

walking underwater,

I can still feel

your faith in me

has changed me

I am stronger

than I believed.

***

I look back,

see myself

as I once were

a mirror in your heart

shows me I am the same,

love stirring every dream,

I smile,

bloom in your every wish

I know not where shore waits,

I feel the tide,

I go,

I fall,

I still walk as the clouds turn to sunlight,

caress each petal

hold your love so close

if I am meant to be another's candle

let me be yours.
