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.
