NEAR YOU
'Neath velvet cloth of night and shadows, my heart confessed its thoughts to the wind. I could feel your smile from a distance with the touch of your closeness profound. The sun reached behind a fading sky, so the moon could take its proper place. Day to darkness, brightened by the stars, leaving upon the blue waters a shimmering portrait of your face. You, with all your savoring sweetness, tenderly pierced the walls of my soul as you wove a new tapestry with the golden threads of your hope and love. Yesterday you offered me courage, today you endowed me with your strength. Every moment together, a gift. Every day a celebration of life. How lovely the music of your heart. You are the air I breathe, sound I hear and the spirit that gently moves me. I don't wish for the moon, I have the stars. - Orania Hamilton - |
