On the breath of sighs
I seek to be reborn into the warmth
Of love sated in the glimmer
Of whispers sweeping away the years.

On the breath of sighs
I touch the tenderest part of you,
Sheltered in a heart
Whose beats divide the onrush of worry
From the hand that moves within--
And hope that is enough.

In this breath, this momentary pause,
Can we make enough room
To find each other
Again
And again.
