Inside the Cold of Love

I want to know what it's like to feel the sun embrace me
For the wind to accept me with open arms
The ground, hard and cold, to welcome me to it's secrets
To hold me, softly, inside the cold, empty air

I want to know what it's like to feel the moon close around me
For the stars to shine my way to heaven
The black sky, so dark and vast, to welcome me to it's never ending
To carry me, softly, away from pain and sadness

Feeling the world around my soul
Wandering, pointless and without regard, through life
There is no home, no north to find, no center to hold
I am restless, I am homeless, I am without respite

I want to know what it's like to have another human touch me
For their fingers to graze against my skin with love
Their eyes, so warm and inviting, to truly see me
To hold me, softly, and never let me go
