" To know, know, know you....is to love, love, love you "
.......................................................................................
I walk along the sidewalk
as dusk becomes evening
crisp the night air
there's a chill hovering still
listening to my senses
my mind completely stilled
the skyline is dotted with silohuettes
of pine trees across the rooftops
and I can hear my heart
beating rhythmically
to the pulse of your spirit
in perfect tune with mine
a pigeon breaks cover
with a flap of whirring wings
criss-crossing the horizon,
a gentleness there
I quicken my pace
until I reach the park
darkness has settled
in the velvet of the night
wandering down to the pond
no one else is around
it's the time I love best
as the stars are appearing
one by one
like sparkling diamonds in the sea
and there's no one quite like you
my Lord has told me so
a moorhen squawks loudly
breaking the golden silence
mallard ducks come flighting down
effortlessly and gracefully
with a splash and ripple effect
amongst the pond lilies
and my heart thinks of you
feeling your presence here
as we meld into one
I rest for a while
on a very special boulder
the one my beloved mother
once used to sit upon
rocking me on her knee
and singing a sweet lullaby
a love unequalled
from here to eternity
and as the moondust sprinkles
and starlight settles all around
you can be sure my angel
that you are safely lodged
in the sacred repository
of my loving heart
