And there was no beginning
And there was no end
The love circled round
And round
And wrapped me up in his arms
And the curves of his face reminded me of a past we once shared
And our grandmothers conspired for this moment
And the love was like wow
And his kiss had my knees tremble under the incredible strength of his love
And everyone knew I was prone to fantasy
So I learned to love it
And own it
And trust it, even
And my children called me here
And whispered in my ear to be present
And to not get in their way.
And I don’t know why I’m here
but I know they are my teachers
So I listen
And this man
He found the bird in my heart
And she sings!
And yes, she sings for him.
