water lifted me

If you had seen the water fall
from below the hidden glen
my eyes would have been frozen in time
if by chance we met
in a gaze

i walked out to the ledge
only for a moment
and i saw you on the precipice of life's cascade
as if you were the water in the fall
glistening of gold, silver and starlight 
shimmering iridescent
i knew
that you were looking out for me
if by chance i started to lift 
into the heavens
but i kept grounded
because i wanted you to see me dance
