And in the silent spaces
between each heartbeat, breath,
the depth and breadth of knowledge
gathers dust awaiting touch.

Silently it cries and begs
a hold back of sensation,
stillness to receive,
and silence to believe
like a man waits to undress
the woman of his choosing.

Too soon and I can’t feel
the full impact of worth,
and too late it gets returned
until another birth
and I listen now more than then
and touch with mind unleashed
my own silent spaces
between each heartbeat, breath.

There are things I can’t believe
going on in heaven’s scheme
because I feel but cannot hear
each syllable quite clear
but always I’m rewarded
with symbols of real love.

No haphazard pick and pay
at a hyper store
but years of preparation
to receive and to believe
your face is my symbol,
your touch my knowledge base,
and all of this I know today
because love undresses soul!

Dear Dixie - my mind is the mind of a woman in love and I think we both know that it's not a mind worth having sometimes.
