Fire Light

Paint a body
on my soul.
Make it big enough
to take me whole.
Paint it high
up in the sky,
any colour
that you like.

Tie an anchor
to my heart.
Keep it tethered
to the deepest part.
Then cast it wide
out into the sea.
You keep just a part of me.

As we belong to the ocean.
As we belong to the sky.
We are angels.
We are angels, you and I.

Write the legends
of my life.
The words will comfort peoples minds.
Then close your eyes
and you will see
the fire side of me.

We are fire
We are light.

We are fire
We are light.

Fire * Light
