It is your presence that lifts me into flight,
No force could hold my body down,
But your absence is a weight,
One so great I drown.
Fill me with your love,
Watch me soar above the ground,
Like a graceful white dove,
Nothing so beautiful could again be found.

Your presence lifts you into flight- your absence weighs you down, Beautiful job on this one Alyssa.
Such a striking contrast between weightlessness and sinking! Beautiful work, Alyssa!
This one has such a lovely, soaring feel—like a heart taking flight! The contrast between presence and absence is powerful, and that final image of the white dove is just chef’s kiss.
Alyssa, I love how smooth this is. You did well to capture that feeling of true love and that weightlessness of finally finding it! Well done!
