Wings and Light

We are all metaphor,
every piece of us
flashes of light and perception
in a web of quarks and particles
that we call God
and rest.

I cannot see you without
your light
as I cannot live without mine,
a strong beat with
fragile wings of lift.

Let me See,
let me see through you
to bring myself into this space
of only now
and lift us both to the light.
