In light, in sound, in madness

Sweetness,
I am worried, I felt your angst and pain, mercury running through my bones. I promise, today my breath is going to spell your name in every single exhale of mine, a wish of life...
In Light
In Sound
In Madness
My gates will be open for you anytime, you're a part of my soul, the girl dancing in my head...
I have to respect my positions in life, from these I draw strength, wisdom and beauty... this is human connection, sacred, pure and simple, freedom.
I come to your world for comfort, your boundless world, where I feel safe, letting my feelings run through you.
Not all days can be as sweet and cheerful as those with sun kissed skies but you glimmer even in the darkest skies..the darkest days..
Yours
