Just us

There you wereas if you’d always beensmiling up through years of unbelief;You took my handno questions why,as natural as the night the cloudsthe river strolling by.We didn’t kiss nor did we lose sight:it was eye to eye and hip to hipit bit so deep it bit so widethat I remembered how to smile.Our bodies swayed together then apartour rhythm known thoughnever tried or tested till this night.The world unwound gave up a sighI didn’t say a word but knew I’d found:a wisdom tree, a splash of light, a silver soundit whispered that we stood unfettered nowon sacred ground..
