I have kissed rose petals in the morning
still covered in their dew
Rescued one winged birds from four legged predators
knowing they would still die
I have walked the tops of mountains
most too scared to imagine
Swam across rivers in valleys
too low for them to stoop
Flown on dreams with wings
just to crash when lightning struck
Scraped rainbows from the sky
to find there is no pot of gold
I have praised my God
in the highest of heavens
Danced with Satan while holding between my lips
the black rose of death
But never have I encountered such
equal parts of beauty and danger
until I crossed the path
beneath your feet
Dance me across your beauty
and into your wicked danger
Fill me with pleasure
Just remind me I'm still here
!
