Softly Swirling Hearts

Softly swirling hearts

beating in tune to no time

I met you filtering through the mist

unshrouding slowly you seeped outward

into the light of a softly glowing day

hand outstretched cautiously

reaching through the looking glass

careful not to crush

that which is tender

hoping only to find

a common ground

upon which to stand

in glorious communion

knowing the same thing

as another for once

allowing it to linger

longer than a moment

calling this resonance

by the words of love

dammed as they might be

and equally unexpected

penetrated into the inner sanctum

inside the cleverly sealed walls

where virgin dunes do not extend

 and yet you found yourself there

entangled in my dream

and me in yours too

in gratitude

realizing in full

that every day is a Valentine

when you walk with an open heart

like the one we both share

in this moment

as it has always been

and always will be

I love you
