There is a wildness in my heart
a fire that burns with warmth and light
and sings a song of untamed bliss.
My love is wild about me too.

There is a calmness in my soul
a sacred truth, a strength within
that guards me from all harm and wrong.
My love exudes a calmness too.

There is a lightness in my step,
I walk on clouds that bounce in fun.
The sun shines through on rainy days.
My love is just as happy too.

There is a story in my smile
of twisting paths of toil and rest
and views from mountain tops we’ve reached.
My love adores me too.

"There is a calmness in my soul

that guards me from all harm and wrong.
My love exudes a calmness too."

Love this verse.  A real expression of love in the entire write, but this verse adds the exclamation mark.

Enjoyed the read, Diana.

Thank you, JL.  That is perhaps my favourite verse too, especially as its last line is the real miracle because it wasn't always so.  

I am glad you enjoyed the read.  

You look good as Father Christmas, JL, lol!
