Rebirth


Rebirth


One
moment
stars aligned
midnight beckoned
from the summer sky
I saw need in your eyes
and found myself falling deep
into the crescent of your smile
timeless water rushing to my head
silent tears falling from my amber eyes
an endless ache was pulsing in my heart
crimson looping back through velvet veins
spirits entangled, impassioned
exquisite longing sated
by gentle winter snow 
a twist of fate yields
purpose, rebirth 
in brown eyes
shining
bright.

      Thank you Michael! Yes, FB doesn't cooperate when we want to manipulate the format. Katie was indeed very, very pleased. I miss her terribly!!! <3
