"Hand me the world on a silver platter,
And what good would it be
With no one to share, no one who truly cares
For me?"
--Alicia Keys
It is as if you are the sun and I am the moon, and the whole of the galaxy affords us a stage. I could use your warmth and light, and you could use my peaceable cool, but we revolve and dance around the blue-green planet that is the hurdle between our wants and needs, and in order to blanket one another in our respective traits we would need to move the world.
Come childe, let us place our hands upon this large immovable rock and together we may overcome our impediments and meet in the middle; I cooling your painful burning and you setting afire my placid surface.
The strings that hold together existence, the invisible web beneath, evident in the coming together of our celestial forms, revealing a thing neither of us can speak from these hindered tongues. The friction from failing to explain in the only way we know how this height of emotion may erode our patience, it may cause the backdrop of the galaxy to appear dark and bleak to us, but such is the manner of the human mind. Always wishing, never fulfilled. The same body at once content and malcontent as well. Perceiving beauty in the rotting putrescence of ill faith and disbelief, inside the fear of failure.
Be we granted the ability to harm naught a blade of grass upon the Earth and still the courage to come together where it hangs, suspended as a teardrop untouched by gravity. Let the light of love burn a path through the black to the nearest star, where we may sit and count the days we spend in the White. Bring us hope in our connection, pride in our honesty, and a beginning to an unknown path that we may walk for all the days of our lives.
May we be gifted with a love strong enough to change the order of the planets.
This is all I ask, this and no more.
A vision of your body and face plays against the screens of my closed eyelids and all of the world disappears and falls away from me. I am nothing amongst nothing, falling from nowhere to anywhere, and the only reality is that which I may share inside of you. Perhaps it is only my wicked imagination but it seems that you speak before puffing away like a tendril of smoke, and though I am not sure what you say, what I hear is this:
"The Earth is as it is and exactly where it must be, it stands not in our way but only where it stands. Our lack of physical contact in no way lessens or cheapens the connection we share in only hanging here, suspended and pushed by invisible forces through the matter of space and time, on opposite sides of this planet which acts as our fulcrum. Together we are swimming through a thing we know not, and though it seems impossible, though it feels as if we are miles apart, you have held my hand since the beginning of time, and I yours, so that we may assist one another through this unfathomable state of affairs."
And with these unspoken words I can see, peeking out over the top of the Earths crown, a single crescent of the side of your face, and with it comes a ray of your unquenchable light. It's warmth moves across my tired surface, and the dust and dry cracks of my skin absorb you just as the desert drinks the rain.
I am revitalized and reborn by the smallest bit of you I can reach; to take in all of it would likely cause me to spin off from my course and spend eternity mad in the open endlessness of space.
We continue to chase one another around the clouded Earth, but the next day you rise with an unprecedented vigor, and the next night I glow with a hope and faith so powerful I feel I could stay in the night sky and never set again.
The power of love is unknowable, but in our hearts resides.
Come with me. Take my hand, I will be your moon and you can be my sun, and together we will find a way to live with the world between us.
Forever More,
~MiKaL~
