open.

even though i never
gave you the key,
you unlocked me.
and now i am open
to endless possibility
and we will no longer
close doors
or shut windows
because the light
is too bright to deny,
and the wind,
whispering kisses
into the room,
will listen as my fingers
unlock the mysteries
of your body.

i am open for you
like the road that will guide you
coast to coast
and hold you in its arms.
you are a newborn baby
looking up at the sky,
wide-eyed and open,
waiting for life's
infinite, woven tapestry
to wrap your soul
in its wonder
and unfold miles and miles
of new memories.

i understand
you need to be lost,
because your roadmap
opened you up to me
and you are not free
to take our journey.
but we'll both look up
when you grow wings
and i'll tilt my head west
and catch feathers
on my tongue,
and you'll stare at the sun,
feel my warmth,
and know where to find me.
