The Key

When he took my hand in his, Feelings trembling in my breast, An awkward yearning… Breathless quest, a journey, Into the mountains of tenderness. Exposing gentle, its kiss crushing Every doubt, each insecurity… With the wonder of these feelings, Bleeding liquid emotions, dreaming Healing all the dark dread… With sensitivity, the silence of wings Freeing the wish for romance that sings In a voice with a razor sharp edge – Just beyond the uncertainty, into the beautiful Faith, the believing in a joy, a hope, an inkling… Between two hearts, two thoughts, two – Who remember the sweetness of beautiful, The kindness of a dream being lived out, The music, the melody so gentle, like light Being poured out by the buttery sun, the love When we first met, a fire burned within – Yet, there was a brush with the quiet of kindness, Compassion caressing the tears, the fears Silencing every pain, each darkness – with the laughing Glow of a familiar breath, the breath of joy The breath of knowing love that is living Inside the soul who believes, the soul who sees Beyond the darkest storm, the worst distress, Into the mystery of a moment when love’s yearning Frees the heart from its chest of not knowing… With one short breath – doubt ceases to exist And, light reflects what is best – the source of all rest, The love that is forever the spirit’s greatest blessing, The soul’s greatest success – the life’s permission… To share in the joy that comes to those who simply believe… That love is the answer if we only agree – yes, it is the key!
