Synced

by Alison McKenzie

I close my eyes
And you are there –
You with your fears
And your suffering
And your healing –
You with your magic,
And your wings,
That unfurl, wrap in protection,
The fire that melts me –
Your tears, and
Your breath.

We are, none of us, perfect
But you,
Agonize,
Tracing the path of your anxieties
Until the floor has worn away
And you sense the falling.

While I stand quietly by,
Waiting for your wings to rez again,
My love an unforeseen constant,
An unresolved variable in the equation,
Just one expression, lingering
Between the plus and minus.

I close my eyes,
And we are synced,
You and I,
One being floating through time
Across oceans and moonbeams,
I wait for you to come.
