I close my eyes
You hold out
Your hand to me
After a few tries
I open my eyes
dance with me
You say to me
Neither question,
Nor command.
My heart fills
With such trust
And tender love.
I reach for you
Slowly, afraid you
Might vanish.
Your solid hand
Never wavering
Ever present, visible
Grips onto mine
Pulling me to my feet
And holding me
So close to you
Bodies connecting
I am now home
And we are one.
