In Another Life
By the fire, crackling with warmth
We kept each other cool
Hands locking in the soft breeze
Eyes woven in a timeless pattern
Gentle for each other, dark lace
In another place.
Intelligent, your eyes spoke for your soul
You were nobody’s fool
Pretty words of love for infinity
Your thoughts raced ahead in time
Strong with a heart that knew no fear
In another year.
Beautiful moments, enclosed in the smoky air
Where music and silence rule
Fretful fingers wove flowers in my hair
As tender as the touch of the wind
Blazing love bled me like a knife
In another life.
