Look deep into her eyes, my soul,
awaken to her joyous song,
hear the rapture of her voice,
feel the passion in her smile!
love flows from her very breath,
lifting the weariness of change...

Her love encircles your being,
as rays of enchanted light
piercing through layers of doubt,
caused by years of ridicule,
being made to feel worthless.

Her love brings out gently
the frightened, confused inner child
who in its sudden awakening finds
a place of refuge and comfort.

Now open your eyes to this
and realize you have been changed:
now you know the steps to take
to change the rest of your life;
to change your world,
and meet her once more
in her place called paradise...

Wonderful words Windwalker - they sink into the soul and bring peace.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

another grand and powerful 'write'!

I am particularly fond of:

“Look deep into her eyes, my soul…”;

“lifting the weariness of change...”;

AND, (perhaps because this may be
something I am currently experiencing)
I find the following incredibly fine!:

“Her love encircles your being,
  as rays of enchanted light
  piercing through layers of doubt,
  caused by years of ridicule,
  being made to feel worthless…

  realize you have been changed:
  now you know the steps to take
  to change the rest of your life
  to change your world.."

once again, very serious, long-sustained applause!!

Losing the layers to your inside can be so relieving and beautiful. Lovely description! Enjoyed.
