One Warm Heart
27 August 2006

Two naked bodies
one warm heart
In rhythm of beating
side by side
As if in unison
two combined as one

Two souls
two spirits kept
Close enough to face reality
near enough to touch
One scent emerged
all gathering to the wind

The wolf and the vixen
man and woman in love
For who gave, could never take away
their child, the children to be born
Where birth was a natural subterfusion
of a unity gifted in sentiment expressed


“And they were both naked,
the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
Genesis 2: 25 KJV
