You Knew


You knew before I’d even spoken one word
You knew that my heart my soul had heard
You said it’s because your spirit touched me
That out of my captivity you’d set me free
I only know that my soul takes off in flight
That you are the star that gives me light

You knew before my eyes had even seen you
You knew my thoughts and feelings were true
You said it’s because this was destined to be
That fate had decided you would meet me
I only know my eyes fill with hopeful sighs
That you are the breeze that moves my skies

You knew before I’d felt your tender touch
You knew that my heart needed you so much
You said it’s because this was written before
That this beauty and magic will be evermore
I only know that my heart knows all of you
That this feels right and special and so true


Marsha

This is so tender and warm Marsha.....sometimes there is someone that really does know. This is very romantic and full of the music of love...good work my dear nurse friend!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Marsha~
What I know is that this beautiful piece is far too lovely to lay back on page 7 !
I'm so glad I'm a persistent Passion's poem pecker !
Keep writing such gorgeous poetry, hon !
Your heart is in the right place !
AND FOR RIGHT NOW - THIS ONE GOES TO PAGE 1 !

I love it, my friend.
