I want to dance nude in starlight
With the rain pouring down from Heaven
Tears of joy or sorrow
To wash across the plains of my body
Painting me in glittering perfection.
A pale demi-goddess made up of
Moonlit shadows, stardust and
The Sky Lord's tears.

I want to feel the crush of tender young grass
Breathing from beneath my toes.
The scent of its snuffed out life suffusing the air
Around me - green and simplistic.
The clippings cling to the tops of my feet
In a desperate effort to travel with me,
Immersed in my velvety awareness, and
Away from the fields they've known a millennia

I want to taste the life of this place
Sticky sweet and decadent with decay
Against the tip of my tongue, and
Lap up the struggles of these beings I'll
Never know and release them on exhale to live anew
Tonight all of mortal existence rests in my palm
For I am ethereal, I am ageless and disconnected from time.

I want to wrap myself the damp press of your skin
Calloused and resilient against mine. A new life
A new experience more worthy of awe
Than the meadow that surrounds us.
More energizing and alive than the tenuous
Whispers of the nighttime amphibians singing
Their declarations of love in the moonlight
Only a being such as you could have sluiced
Away the cynicism and smoothed the jagged edges of my heart.

I want to know you as I've known no other being.
Drown in your divinity until there is nothing
But the caress of smoke and shadow left
Of my precarious form to envelope you..
Still smoldering in tenacious desire to live
Beyond the beckoning of Sleep and Dreams.

I want to open your eyes to the knowledge
That of all things only the Beauty of Love
Is eternal. More consistent and deeper than
The surface of your skin.
