It is a singular delight
To find one with which you share a passion and flame.
As you both shine bright
With whom you need to feel no shame.
Far to often, we enjoy
Hiding ourselves and our inspirations away
For fear that our joy
Will be shunned and scorned without delay
We'd rather protect
That small flicker that makes us feel less small
Than let it grow and infect
To spread wide and to fully engulf all
The risk is far too great
What if they are right to bring us down?
One thing I've found of late
Is that passion finds far more smile than frowns
And so, to find that pleasure
One with whom you can share your flicker of light
To face all dowsing together
And merely emerge aflame is an utter delight
