…become one voice
I have been waiting for someone
someone who knows
my one true love
a matching, endless, desire
nothing withheld
I hear the rolling waves of sleep
and dreams softly take me
swirling around me in the night
their beauty flows
slipping around the ruins
of what has gone before
hidden in history
covered by time
distilled in emptiness
the ice breaks up
melting
merging within me
streams, running quietly
I am within a cool summer breeze
soaring between sapphire clouds
I feel the touch of beauty
fallen upon me
I feel the hush of the woods
and then the birds fly
all at once
to a garden of stars
upon a shoreless sea
It is more beautiful than light
than falling snow
this small wind that brings me to you
like music
or breath
or love
it will light the days of our hearts
seemingly random fates intertwine
and two souls in love
become one voice
