fire and air.

i watch the birds fly
in the sky's failing light
and wish i could soar.
on mended wings take flight
we're as one in two bodies
your beings fused with my soul
when my eyes close at night
you're my dark's guiding light
every breath from my lungs
every word from my pen
what little faith that i have
i hold it all for you in my heart
until we meet again.

I don't know if this is what you were thinking, but this translated to me as living vicariously through the birds...we're as one within the wish. But you take a personal route at the end, which causes me to doubt if this is talking about birds at all. And the Title, "Fire and Air". One feeds the other as long as the balance is right, otherwise it'll blow it right out. Unless of course the air fed the fire long enough, then the air cause an inferno. There is a certain delicacy, a fragility. Almost as if the reunion is unattainable outside of the dream. This really left me wondering. Nice job. I'd like to know where your head was, but I would never ask for the meaning to be revealed.

it is about fire and air and how one feeds off the other. striking that delicate balance and maybe, just maybe the two sides igniting a spark that does get out of control but then settles back to that delicacy and into something with some longevity.
the birds came into it cause i was staring out the kitchen window watching the birds very late in the afternoon when this one popped into my head. there of course is another inspiration that is no one's business but mine and one other.
