I see shadows
that whisper why
why does it take
a light to make us breathe
for are we not real
as air is on Earth
as God is to your soul
as love is to life.
What chance had I
my answer would fail
as the Sun pitched
and slowly sank
against a back drop
of Pacific blue.
After all, what is love
but two hands touching
in secret ways
that send a flame
hotter than any star
from one to another
leaving a mark,
a shadow on the heart.

Beautifully written! I love it!
