Blessed with velvet touch
Rapture wakens my senses
Vanishing too soon~
You tiptoed across my heart
Like a ripple through my dreams

such a beautiful peace to this....a floating feather upon amber winds....

~~**~~
The sound of silence calls,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream
The echo of our souls meet
