In The Shape of You

The sky cracked

When thunder raged.

Life screamed

Inside its cage,

And a thousand years

Then found my age
.

A diary of fire,

Each day’s page

Lit my mind.

The air possessed
by burning sage.

Wavy golden flames

Danced the length
around and down my head.

Felt like time yanked my dreams,

and left me on a sheetless bed.

Then I thought I heard a whisper

From a voice I'm sure I once knew

I turned to find a shadow

shaped much like
the core of you

What I heard exactly,

 I wish I could say.

Love spoke through me

In a wordless way.

Many have greeted me

With a strong hug and such;

though, until you

I never quite felt a touch.

No longer a hamster

 Trapped inside a spinning movie reel.
This heart found the strength to leap

and a warm, bright place to heal

And you know, my love,
If eternity was an ocean,
If Heaven's Gold were free,
I would ship you straight home
to live and rest with me.

If only all things were
what they cannot be
