I asked
The Creator of the Universe
I said
Hey
Really?
Can I really
do
Anything I want?
And They just
Met My EYE
For an instant wide as the sky
Then with a smile
soft as newfallen Snow
said
Anything at all
Anything you like
However you can
Whatever you're able
Yes
Yes to it all.
And I laughed
Feeling my wild unfettered
Freedom
And I turned
Ready to
Go and do
But then
A touch
Light as the Noonday desert Sun
Their hand on
My shoulder
They said
in a voice
Quiet and Dark as a
Distant Deepening Gathering
Storm at Sea
And when you're
Done
They said
When you've done
They said
All that you wished
All that you want
All that you will
I will
Because I love you
Like Fire
Like Fire, do I love you
I will
Tell you in the Fires of
My Love
Exactly
Precisely
What that Meant
