(UNTITLED)

I can dance without moving my feet
I can fly with no wings
I can sing and never say a word
I can jump and never fall

it only takes a thought of you

a slight smile
I will dance
a touch
I will fly
a word
I will sing

but when you are here
I will jump

and you may follow
and reach me finally
holding my hand
- flying together

we smile
and see the smallness of the world
- our own insignificance -
and stay
forever

until the wind blows
our hands break free
we cannot fly

we fall from the jump
but all hope is here
for you are forever
with me
and I
will never
leave your side
