In the rain, you came to my church,
came to what makes my sanctuary.
We hid in here together,
taking shelter from the storm.
For a while the colored windows
let the lightning in,
For a while I let us both take form.
In the rain, you came to my haven.
We closed our eyes together,
in shelter from the storm.
For a while we were the statues,
aligned with angels and icons.
For a while, I let my dream take form.
In your pain, I listened to you.
I chased your dragons,
and pulled you through.
All awhile you were the saint to me,
I was always half devil,
as you'd gradually be.
None of us are enlightened now.
We'll never be either demons or saints.
But I'll remember you came to my sanctuary,
However old I'll ever grow,
However that memory
goes faint
This is definitely one of my favorites you've ever written, its wonderful, the imagery especially astounding :) Great work
