Watching

I am a tiger.

You watch me burn.

You are a dragon.

I watch you be.

Give me your wisdom

and I’ll fold my strength

around your heart

to never let go.

I am a star.

You watch me shine.

You are earth.

I watch you be.

Keep me grounded,

borrowed into your depth,

and I’ll dazzle you with my light,

keeping you happy, for a time.

I am sunlight.

You watch me play.

You are shade.

I watch you be.

Invite me into the shadows,

where it’s dark, and cool, and soft,

and I’ll warm you a little,

to make you laugh, just once.
