I arose in the dark,
Deep sigh,
Stumbling step.
Mind unclear yet,
Heavy heart,
Woe beset.

Coffee so warm,
Almost hot,
Trembling hands.
Frail aging body
Finding strength
Again to stand.

There was your face,
Sweet smile,
Gentle sigh.
Your aura embraced,
Power rush,
Drawn up high.

Then came your hand,
Outstretched,
Holding mine.
And the sun came up,
Worries gone,
All is fine.

Let me brush the hair from your face,
And caress your warm soft cheek.
As I whisper love-words in your ear,
And feel you by me, warm and near.

I do so softly, so as not to wake,
Or disrupt the night-spell's magic.
I want to feel your breath so soft,
The angels' wings upon it loft.

A tear so softly wets my cheek,
My breath is drawn in deep.
From my lips a prayer is spoken,
That this spell will not be broken.

Of all the gifts that God has given
So many not deserved,
To this one alone I will hold fast,
Until I breathe my very last.

Now us…
   My time
   Your time
   Our time
   No time
   Time stops

Now us…
   No clock
   No past
   No future
   No worry
   No fear

Now us…
   Touch
   Touch softly
   Move closer
   No me
   No you

Now us…
   Passions ignited
   Hearts pounding
   Breathe deeply
   Hold me
   Hold you

Now us…
   Falling
   Spinning
   Fear gone
   Love guides
   Hearts together
   Earth closer

NO! (Yes?)

Now us…
Rise up again…
Rise up again…
Rise up again…
(Time stopped)
Rise up again…
