The breeze it blows
My hair around my face
Curls tangled and knotted
Like our feelings confused and
Mixed up like morning’s half-awake mess
My face wet from the cold rain
Summer evading time and space
We walk, you limp, I slow my pace
But wonder whether your love will wait
As my heart threatens to run away
Tall buildings and beautiful architecture
You recall tales of times gone by
Stories I listen to intently
Yet know they will later pass me by
Your voice, a twangy soft tone
Gentleness true, like cotton wool balls
Clouds drifting aimlessly
Nothing threatened yet all anew
My mind is muddled, befuddled
My heartbeat a sonnet, a song
Coming from it the most beautiful sound
As I watch in wonder at your realness aground
The rain keeps coming
You reach out and take my hand
Our fingers touch, electricity bolts
Through my body a thousand volts
I pull away knowing it’s too much
How can I bear the lovingness of such?
When you’re so close now, closer than ever
A force from you comes shining through
A bright lightning strike
A thunderclap of rolling thunder
A message delivered by the universe
Like gravity it pulls and tugs
As if from God in the heavens above
Looking down and the message is clear
The words saying don’t give up
Don’t move from each other away
You can stay together…for another day.
