To Tania with Amour
30 August 2006

For what were feelings
those that unite
The feelings of two
an acceptance in flight

Like the Falcon to its prey
a bird on the wing
In her tallness and wonder to see
a model of perfection, be what you can be

The potential for love
a freedom to behold
Where communication was contact
and the age of shivery was never too old

From the starlight in the sky
to the rhythm of your heart
This desire of amour, the blue in your name
as if tomorrow the trees would blossom
and your smile would set love free


“And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have
a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith
ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.”
Alma 32: 21 BOOK OF MORMON
