Him

It was to the Heavens I called
who sent me an angel.

One with hidden wings
and a gentle soul.
Distant and reserved
yet willing and sincere.

A caged heart with caterpillars
settling in their cocoons.
Patiently waiting
for their arrival to fly.

To unlock a love that has been buried
long before my time.

One day,
it will happen.
And if I'm ever so lucky to be of witness...

I will be ready.

For I know
this is sacred.

From the depths of my soul,
to the beating of my heart,
I will always
always...

keep him safe.
