a beginning

tenderly and
softly,
two hearts
shyly
seek shelter
in the peaceful
lovingness
of a long
embrace.

her
eyes,
so open
&
so
pure,
pour
songs of wisdom…
songs of heaven…
songs of hope,
into his soul.

his heart,
rumpled
and worn,
and shiny,
sings in
adoring
harmony.

together
they walk,
and
together,
they know.

together,
their souls
soar
through
life
unafraid,
and heavily encumbered
by joy.
