Kitten

I saw the sun for the first time.

It was beautiful.

I looked around and I saw you silhouetted against the sun. You had pulled me out of the underworld. Why?  You drifted around me like a lazy cloud, cleansing away the darkness that had shrouded me. The darkness that had been my home.   

I looked on. Paralyzed. What is this that I feel? How do I define such overwhelming beauty in words? I felt myself sinking in your pine scented depths. Your voice sang to me like the mountain winds and for the first time I let myself close my eyes and I slept. What joy, it is to experience the sleep of the content!

I woke up to find myself trailing behind you. I followed you. Breathless. You showed me colors that I had never seen. You made me believe when there was nothing left to believe in. I held your hand - held it like a man coming face to face with his wildest dreams.

Like a sailor lost in the tempest, searching the heavens for the north star, I had searched for you. Only you had decided to come down. You stepped on the earth for me. Even as the heavens wept, I knew a taste of paradise.

I know addiction. The meaning of the word 'need'. I know true happiness and inexpressible pleasure. I know you.

You teach me the way of light as I teach you about the night. Together we form a day. Complete. Unbreakable. Forever.
