A Soft Place To Fall
By: Noah Eaton
12/22/01

Hold me in your meadows of silk yarrow
Take me down where the dawn crickets zither
Under these flowering white weeping willows
Show me your love beside passions river

I’ll rest my head on your mimosa bed
As I glimpse your naunce of devotion
Lost in your satin thaumaturgic web
Holding you close in loving elation

May we embrace in sacred cupids tryst
In this rainbow hammock under the sun
Just close your eyes angel, in sheer delight
Dreaming together till the day is done

In your arms there lies A Soft Place To Fall
Kiss me, my love, answer my passions call

SSOOOOOO romantic Noah!  It is always good to know that when you fall, there is something soft to catch you.  And after a poem like that, I don't know a girl that wouldn't kiss you.  Great!!!
