flight of the butterfly, rising free
streams of sadness flow
making a way to the sea
wandering to and fro
rising tides in me
A walk on the beach
The sun setting over the tall buildings
They enjoyed the sounds of the waves
The colors of the darkening winter sky
approaching the light of newness
hands extended, hearts open
fresh freedoms awaiting us
knowing hearts, born anew
the anticipation of the meeting
the quickening of the dream
colors of life dance upon the mind's sky
sands of time cease the eternal ebb, begin to flow
reading thoughts, racing across dreams
mirrored in the heart of one another
colors reverberate, shades of promise
hues of the dance, burgeoning romance
loving thoughts caress
warmth of a breath
tender whisper of wind against the skin
held in the moments before we dance
echoes of the instant, anticipating your touch
hearts reverberating, beckoning waves attract
inward, outward; color, light; ebb, flow
sweet rhythm of the dance of two souls
