There is a place that means the world to me,

you are there, and so are we

in complete connection through action and thought;

wherever we traveled apart, we fought

*

for this place of our own design.

*

Fresh water flows through our veins, giving life

to dreams with intention, without strife

you teach me how to breathe, I teach you how to float

above the ripples, over your moat

*

to this place of our own design.

*

Now shake your wings dry and fly to the sun

so I can follow; prove I’m your one.

Together, we’ll leave this sticky space

to find the freedom of our dreamt place

*

together by our own design.
