Sorry it's so long and my choice of punctuation probably isn't that great. There's a long background story behind this, so it might not have the same meaning to you as it does to me.
and the back of my eyelids are covered in mist
I’ll feel the vapor drift away
and dream that silence can really exist.
My breath is a dead even rhythm
and my heartbeat’s a metronome.
But I’d like to hear the quiet for once
then perhaps I won’t feel so alone.
Lost in the noises from within
I feel my pulse grow tired.
If only there was something other than grey
I’d find myself inspired?
And that’s when you came floating
your light so soft yet clear
against the haze of earthbound clouds
and everything I hold dear.
You became a lightning strike
and brought your thunder too.
The fire that’s always kept me warm
joined in and blazed anew.
Then flames and the sparks that lit them
embraced in a deafening sound
and when the explosion faded out
I was pressed against the ground.
Above me hovered you -
a blinding bolt of white
but your sparking could not be heard
and my burning was only a sight.
You reached your hand out to me
and I flew up from the earth.
The lack of sound was sweet as sky
as I perceived its total worth.
We danced in the open air
and our cold shine shone on mist
A wind both lifted us up
and made the grass blades kiss.
So if you are my lightning bug -
a luminous spark with wings -
then I will be your firefly
and together we will sing
in Morse code with our lights
through the hanging fog and black.
We have all night to make our way
to the silver moon and back.
While you are my lightning bug
and I am your firefly
we could stay in our jar all night
but I’d rather say goodbye
to all the noise around me
while I greet you and your spark.
Fly with me in blissful silence
as fire and lightning tame the dark.
