Touching you across nothing

I touch you across nothing
middle of nowhere

I walk between earth and sky
in a place neither sea nor storm
nor land nor wind


Can you feel me growing stronger?
Can you see me learning to become

The Person I Need to Be for Both of Us
More for Me
More for You


Can you understand that love
and the world
with all its life
and possibility


Never goes dark
like three matches in the dark

One to light for you
One to light for us
And one to light my bong.
