Virtual Arms
23 August 2006

Somewhere in Ontario
was a heart’s breath
Each understanding
each silent pause
The rising, the sound
the softness of her breast

Beauty had a name
then so did she
A name to treasure
a name to triumph
Her name so fitting
for her name was
all beauty could be

Tania, sweetness
Tania, divine
Tania, your heart so warm
Just to hold you, just to reach out
Somewhere in Ontario, there you were
The rising, the sound
the softness of your breast

Virtual arms reaching out
in knowing Tania was reaching back
