"If there is at least one person in your life who you consider a close friend, and who you would not have met without being part of an online fandom, post this sentence in your journal."
My heart would be cold
without you beside it
A little bird in my hands
Close to my center, here with me now
A little bird like a palm-sized flame
Gone, grey smoke, in a moments flight
If you go, you take my life
grain by tiny grain
Over the weight of feather and song
My fingers shape an open prayer
This space, for a little bird,
The sheltered place that keeps me warm
without you beside it
A little bird in my hands
Close to my center, here with me now
A little bird like a palm-sized flame
Gone, grey smoke, in a moments flight
If you go, you take my life
grain by tiny grain
Over the weight of feather and song
My fingers shape an open prayer
This space, for a little bird,
The sheltered place that keeps me warm
