iwas a lifeless planet,
wandering through the dark
And like a broken arrow,
could never hit the mark.
Until I chanced upon your fire,
and was captured by its might,
And although I may still wander,
you are never out of sight.
This you need not ponder,
for as I turn upon my pole,
I know my other side,
is heated by your soul.
You've become my plant life,
fern, and flower and tree,
You're my very oceans,
and each and every sea.
You've become my wildlife,
in the air and on the ground,
Where once there was no motion,
life does now abound.
You're everything I hold special,
you're everything to me,
For you're my very sunlight,
I've gained life from thee.
And as this life grows more complex,
my love grows deeper too,
For although it grows upon my soil,
it still depends on you.
It's conquered every surface,
and filled all my seas,
But life despises vacuums,
and like a pile of leaves,
Blows out in all directions,
it is shortly off to Mars,
So someday this life filled planet,
may take life to the stars.
In the distant future,
a billion years away,
There shall come a time of mourning,
you need not feel dismay.
For your fire shall be exhausted,
and you will swell in size,
Until I reach your mantle,
for this I claim my prize.
I would rather be a part of you,
and to be no more,
Than to be a lifeless planet,
with a lifeless core.
