"Hello", she says."I live on a plateau too."
And so she dares this lonely man to woo
A tall, intelligant blonde from some dream
Intimidating Woman-woman it would seem
Dare she does and accepts these bold words to persue
Into a foolish world as only words can do
Poetry and paintings lure this siren closer still
As spirits unite as only spirits will
Yet she feels as though love is a lost art
Mere words cannot woo this woman's heart
Alas words and oils are all she has to give
In her imagined hope that real love will live
Still spirits and hearts will blindly go
Forth...to far away playgrounds, even though
Wisdom senses the dangers lurking there
Truth is rarely found in the consequence of a dare
The die is cast and destiny awaits
This meeting...a possible folly of fate
All too quickly eyes seek out the comforting sight
Thus causing two souls to couple...unite
Timid smiles and a shy embrace
Bringing two eager hearts face to face
As a green turtle and a dolphin swim into the blue
Of her eyes as gifts of words are exchanged by two
Fill a room with soft music and sighs that might
Chase the clouds of doubt away from this fearless night
Where once only spirits chanced to meet
Now senses touch with their kisses sweet
From two lives full of joy and pain
Two hearts touch and meet again
In this vast plateau new love finds a way
To preserve this memory for another day.
