Upon a field of emerald
green,
I stood, my face turned to the sea.
Then a hand—unseen—lifted me
to travel on the breath of the wind.
The earth rested beneath me,
the boundless sky became the realm of my flight.
Yet you were all I wanted.
So I was released.
To find you, I welcomed the fall.
As the earth
drew near,
a gentle hand received me, set me softly upon the ground,
and showed me the path that led to you.
I came.
I found you.
Yet somehow... it was not truly you.
I searched for you within yourself.
Then the mask was lifted.
The symbols spoke—of a
man weary with love,
worn by a thousand quiet sacrifices.
But you were my
man.
That was enough.
I called you by your name.
"I have no strength left to live without you."
Your eyes remembered their light.
The
smile my soul has always known
returned to
your face.
You welcomed me into the lofty sanctuary of your solitude.
Then, at the
edge of the fall, your voice
broke through the wind—
"Hold on to the
house!"
"Hold on to the house—I'
ll hold the ladder."
The house seemed fragile, but your voice stood unwavering.
I trusted your voice.
I climbed...
Moments later, you came to me.
Three sacred ...
love surged through my heart.
I was in awe .
You smiled at my astonishment.
And in the heart of that wonder,
you kissed me.
