With every breath a thrill, eyes closed tight
to absorb the fleeting feeling, so dense
and consuming. Arms flung wide to invite
its magic, working with every sense

Standing naked without defense
a fervent wind whispers moonlight
secrets of wisdom and innocence
these gentle caresses in the night

for one moment it touches your sight
breath coming quicker as you tense
and accept the answer in the twilight
a resolution to a long suspense

Anticipated recognition immense
on the edge of it, heart beating delight,
every inch of you alive, raw, intense.
It endures as your soul takes flight.

Soaring amidst truth and insight,
secure in this vast occurrance
your breathing slows as you alight
knowing, replaced by remembrance,
and its magic.
