In truth
I sit
In shock and wonder
When I realize
That time has brought you closer
Then ever I thought possible
So that you are here, now
Though far away
Like a silent, beautiful ghost
Whose breath haunts
And passes lightly
Behind my ear
Oh dear and oh my
When did this happen
That you are with me
And within me
Through sun and rain
And wind driven pain
Calming my wild nature;
What manner of magic
Has been wrought upon us
That we are entangled so
A chaotic garden grown
With a rhythmic pulse
A hearkening heart beat
Within my chest
Does not beat alone
