Last year
we waded waist-deep
through a dark and shining sky
In the blackness
diamond stars spilled out
in every direction
the contents of some
cosmic jeweler's pockets
casually thrown
The year before us
seemed fragile
a terribly delicate thing
But that night
we walked through
wave after wave of goodness
And I thought oh
this must be how it feels to be steeped
in grace
Tonight
we plunged headlong
into the wind
Moonless and cloudy
the stars hung in clusters
on patches of empty sky
dark portals
from which the blackness shone
brilliant as the light
The year behind had
pushed me down
bending my slender shoulders
But tonight
warmth rushed wildly
over and around us
And I thought yes
this must be how it feels
to fly
