For a moment

there is a gentle breeze

and my hair tickles my faintly freckled nose

your warm golden eyes reflect back at me

catching mine

the sun strengthens my small imperfect body

I reach to you

absorbing your skin beneath my finger tips

I notice your mole beneath your left ear

and the curve of your soft neck

I am overwhelmed by your gentle presence

for it feels like the earth is still

blowing away my gathering clouds

my noisy thoughts

you take me to a place so unknown to me

home.
