Birth of a SoulMate
Long lay the winter that slept in me like a child
with sheets of snow and ice buried in a secluded forest
And there the air fell heavy on my heart with the weight of death
yet life lived on like some forgotten secret in a song
The echo of the night came through in silent flight
and left me deaf to worlds around
And the sun never showed its mercy on me
until a light from your soul cast in me an awakening
that floated gently through the dawn...
And the sunrise arose in me with such a heat
that it pierced my soul
and brought instant tears
that fell on fresh green grass that I suddenly knew
I reached out a trembling hand, and touched the morning dew
And laying my head against your chest
I heard your heart beating in perfect rhyme with my own
And it reminded me of a thing called love
that I could now recall like an old friend
who once held my hand as I went quietly into the night
and I was deaf no more
And the summer breezes blow through me now these days
And your smile lights a path wherever you go
And nothing can keep me from you now,
not even the driven snow
