justice

in the early morning light
when the sun's rays just awake
and the shadows flee the earth
i could be found dancing with justice,
his laughter forcing the darkness to hide,
his eyelashes beating like butterfly wings and
forcing a smile to the surface of my lips.

and in the midday, when the clouds are at their fullest
when it seems as though the sky is transparent
and there is no danger in sight
i can be found dancing with justice,
his little feet keeping in time with mine,
his heartbeat reviving a hope inside of me
that i had long forgotten.

even at twilight, when the stars have taken over
and there is only shadows that can come out to play
i would be found dancing with justice,
his fragile arms outstretched to the God of always
his little ashen hands extending more power than i've ever known.

it doesn't seem like much,
but when i saw him, i knew there was love to be found.
and so i did exactly what i said i did....
i danced with justice.
