Breathe in and out
Throb. Thump. Lub dub.
Heart flutters, imitating the intrepid wings of a dove
The wings granted the knowledge of flight
The ability to conquer the wind without fright
Spitting in the eye of Newton his own apple seeds
The hope you inspire – I know I’ll achieve
Acend, Transcend, rise higher, above
While my heart still flutters like the wings of a dove
Adrenaline pulsing and pumping a new rhythm, a new time
Yet one recognized deep within this soul of mine
It’s comfortable yet new
Unknown yet known
I’ve welcomed myself to your gracious home
Familiar yet unpredictable
All in one fowl swoop
And nows it’s my stomach that goes loop the loop
I tingle and sing from my skin to my core
The world is a new one, a sparkling orb
And I try with my spirit, my essence, my chi
To pulse it, to throb it, to sing it to thee
Incandescent, Luminescent, I wonder your scent
The one nature gave you, not the one you invent
To know it, to pull it and pick it apart
Could be to know what is inside your heart
Or, forsaken, or failing in my experiment
To find the result to my heart are inherent
Innate, ingrained, only recently upturned
Eyes finally opened, a truth branded, DNA burned
With the wisdom of the gods
Saying you’re the one, against all odds.
