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.

and my hair tickles my faintly freckled nose
your warm golden eyes reflect back at me

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.
