Before You
breathing was
easy.
In-out, in-out – not hard at all.
But when I look at you,
you steal the
air from around me
and I have to reach for
oxygen.
You leave me
gasping and
breathless.
Before You
I knew who I was.
I had a
place, and a
label.
But when you say my name
I hear echoes of myself,
discords and
harmonies
You sing me like a strange
hymn of praise.
Before You
gravity obeyed laws.
I was
down to earth.
But when you walk beside me
the ground is just one
choice --
we have other alternatives.
You lead me through an
elemental maze.
Before You
life was
simpler
but I’m a
complex kind of girl.
