Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty

 

Before the beginning,

I imagine our world

As a tiny diamond

Floating in space,

A rock among countless shining others.

Not special, but waiting—

Little knowing she was about to be kissed awake.

 

I imagine You,

In all your solitary splendor.

Not needing, but wanting—

Leaning forward with a breath of anticipation,

Blowing your first Kiss out into the universe

The force of which loved our world into being

As she shattered into a million pieces of light.
