My Golden Shield of Brightness by Shilow

i love how free you are
a golden shield of brightness
that both protects and projects
that floods your space
and overflows into illuminated waterfalls
i love how soft the air is when you smile
i could fall asleep in the curl of those lips
and drift off into precious ever after
i love how when we are laughing so hard
at nothing at all
it’s as if we might just float away
but you keep me grounded
while flying
and there is never a trying
to be anything else
i love how free you are
the world feels so free
i feel so free too
whenever next to you
