Souls and sands



It was as if my heart had beat a thousand times
Within the moment of one touch from you
Like a field of wheat had shared a dream
Of waking, rustling and sweetness
As one kiss made a home in the heart of my soul
One clasp in the grip of your hand
Moved the light of my life
Reaching heights within
That I had never climbed
Our suring joy shon so completely
As if the sea could be heard
wiping it's tears on an angelic shore
