Ritual

It was born on that day
a love so strong
it rivaled the light of the flames we danced around
and i was lost in the fire
bound to the beat of the summer drums
bare feet leaping upon the thriving earth
feeling the heat seep into me with every touch

It was almost too much...
we claimed each other like beasts under a starlit sky
my soul roared with passion as it molded to yours
and in that moment I looked into your eyes
my world shattered into fragments
blown away like leaves into the night
I was right to believe you were worth every fight
right to believe you would become my unfailing light

a breathtaking vision of a beautiful collision
I watched, with awe, our worlds collide
there on that summer night
by faith or decision either way we had risen
becoming what we were meant to be
and so much more...
