To Steward a New Soul With You (A Proposal)

To steward a new soul with you
Is to shape love into life
Kindle a sacred spark
Turn dust into diamonds
Leave an eternal mark

To steward a new soul with you
Is to dream with the divine
Soar above the sun
Mold a magic, golden key
Brave bristling wilds as one

There are trials to consider, comforts to eschew
But I’d like to steward a new soul with you

To steward a new soul with you
Is to tinker with the timelines
Entwine our ancestries
Dive headlong into the horizon
Hew a new history

To steward a new soul with you
Is to beckon to the angels
Set a caged bird free
Surrender to the whims of fate
Conspire with infinity

There are schedules to reorder, ideas to undo
But I’d like to steward a new soul with you

To enter into an endless embrace
A kiss that leaves a glowing trace
A sweet and surprising aftertaste
A unique, unheard of hue:
I’d like to steward a new soul with you

To know that your mind and soul
Are enmeshed in me
To plant another precious pearl
In our estuary
To feel a second heartbeat
Pulse beside your waist
To see a spirit blink to life
In a startled newborn face

There are plans and dreams and things to do
But I’d like to steward a new soul with you

We can almost breathe, take in the view
There are a thousand fears, most of them true
It’s not something to sleepwalk through
Or to stumble drunk and blind into
But I’d like to steward a new soul with you
