Summer’s touch
Monday, June 27th, 2005Do you know your touch
Is as welcome as Summer,
And brings as much warmth?
If only I could touch you
With more than just my kindness.
I am beyond you,
So far removed in my years
That my dreams echo
Down empty valleys of life,
And fade before they reach you.
Still, I find pleasure
In your smile, and your greeting,
And the way your eyes
Light up the end of my day;
You are my dark night’s candle.
In another time,
We might have danced to music
Beneath the starlight,
Gentle rhythms from our hearts,
And the night wind’s quiet songs.
