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.
