Our Gift

Our gifts boxed up
Pitched across the horizon
Such sweet things
The elegant simplicity of us

You wrap yourself around me
Reaching through my chest 
Your soft hands cup my heart
Love is the air you breathe

I am consumed by you
Inhabiting my thoughts, my will
Filling me with your breath
Lifting the birdwing of my soul

Dancing eyes and golden tresses 
Shimmering in foxglint
A vaccine against my darkness
Scattering my wraiths
