You're in my thoughts right now
as I stand here watching the stars twinkling softly
the light morning breeze playing gently or' my skin
it's so peaceful I could swear I heard your heart beating.

Somewhere a bird sings as another takes to flight
did she say to him those self same words
did he too hear her heartbeat
beating out his name.

As yet the flowers sleep
their scent but a pleasant memory
but soon, too soon
morning will wake them from their beds
as must you and once more leave me,

but for now
whilst night still keeps her tender vigil
I'll think only of you sleeping
and hope
that I too play softly on your mind
as you
so play on mine.
