Dancing in Flight


Blue gems dance on slender clouds,
As a cherub to its arrow,
A meadow to its bloom,
As a sun to its moon.

We dance.
As one now,
Reflections of tiny diamonds
Alive upon a stage.
Bursting
Into the shadows
Of the other's dark corners.
Sharing secrets.
On fire.
Blood garnets of penance.

I hear sparrow song.
The crickets are clapping.
For us,
Our freedom,
Our desire to live.
To fly
As hawks,
Above our dreams.
Soaring azure whispers.
Blue gems dancing on clouds.
