and hold you inside, as power-
transforming
dark into beatitude.
Reaching way down into meaty
untouched places-
expanding the bones
where courage is contained.
I breathe out fuel and fire
in a deep sigh of release-
contracting
back into solemness.
Vowing not to melt these
fragile wings we've been given,
I rise up from you-
Soaring away from the sun.
