She appears amidst thunder

rolling elegantly across the sky

I look to the clouds

into the mists of time

I see...

In radiant light

a wondrous form

I am captivated

Tenuous, loving arms

stretched out to me

here by the sea

beauty in motion

In a meadow on a cliff

overcast, sounds of water lapping

sea breeze flows gentle and stiff

below the breakers clapping

She dances before me

arrayed in a white chiffon gown

flowers of gold within her hair

playful like a child

Lovely feet

treading the grass so lightly

beating out a rhythm

a lover’s dance

She enchants me

I am lost

inside her dance of love

timeless

Two hearts

Two minds

Two souls

Entwined...

Closer, ever closer

she dances near to me

and with a laugh

dances away again

Her eyes alight with joy

her fragrance fills my lungs

breathing, ever so softly

I go to her

Her smile is sweet

as she places a flower in my hair

a playful smile on her face

laughter like music

Our eyes meet

two secret smiles

two hearts beating

two souls enshrined
