Knowing

I crave your light, as it were,

the very essence of your being.

Like a moth drawn to a flame,

I dance and writhe with the single purpose of knowing all that is allowed,

without completely emptying your chamber.

How generous your vault, though.

It supplies as much knowledge of your music,

as a crystal shard displays knowledge of light...

..as many facets as an expertly cut diamond.....and equally as beautiful.

There's a way you have of allowing the truth of your inner light, out...

..without dissolving your mystery,

or evaporating my end of the fantasy.

Both realms co-exist in harmony.

Equally balanced.....without seeming trite.

Your aura intrigues mine, allowing me to know of myself.

Where I not only examine my light alone,

but the way my flame dances with yours.

And wisdom of myself also grows, transcending...

..towards purity...

..and I'm forever blessed.

Utterly Beautiful!

This is really good - you have a way of putting words together in a very original fashion, e.g. "Your aura intrigues mine, allowing me to know of myself." I would like to offer a couple small suggestions, if that's okay -- esPECially because you have such a unique voice, do try to stay away from cliches - the moth drawn to the flame, for example, and be careful of your spelling -- "without disolving your mystery," - it's probably just a typo, but you need that extra "s" is "disolving" Otherwise, WOW! Reverend Bec Hudson Shine Your Light It's the ONLY Way to Get Rid of the Darkness!

Thanx, Reverend...

..now, there is one less "s" in the overall vocabulary of the Universe, but it's been put in it's place. Thank-you very much for your kind words, and keen insights. Doc.
