"Go to your heart, Don't speak from your head. I heard that once From a wise man" she said.
"Once I was shy And I wanted to change, So I was brave and spoke And found my own voice again."
"So I like to be me, I like to be honest and true And live my own life From a place of virtue."
"I stay in my heart Or I try to at least! I find there my faith Finds its place to release."
"I learned to love " she said "And live my life from this space, I am here... right here, And you can see my true face"
"And I will stay here" she said, "I won't hide who I am And if others don't like it Well that speaks of them"
So she looked at me with Her big, open eyes, Which reflected to me How I felt inside
And because she was there And so honest and true, It made me feel like I could be too.
So I sat and spoke, At how she had moved me And how over the years I have tried to redraw me
And we spoke and connected And there was some magic there And a softness inside That was lovely to share.
So we finished our cake, Hugged and walked in the air And I wondered a little If we'd be a pair?
If we'd discover something special If we tried to learn together Or if it's better to just enjoy And not think of forever
Because meetings can be awesome If you can let them go And your life can be fuller If you go with the flow.
So we parted... and met And spoke a bit more, About how magic can be Just behind the door.
How life can be awesome And full of holy mystery, If you let your self be open And guided by destiny.
So we parted - as friends, Her heart felt like a feather; Gentle and soft But blown around by the weather
Perhaps we'll meet soon, Perhaps not for a while But it's been great to connect If just with a smile.
I wrote this after a lovely encounter recently... update... actually we had a 5 year relationship which has now come to an end... We are still close though...
