Heart In The Night

I hear the faint sounds of music

and it plays upon my mind like a soft whisper

of a memory, a feeling, an emotion

once felt so strongly it took my breath away.

I stand in the wind and feel its gentle

warmth rush over my skin as it

carries me back to another time

where once I was swept away in a storm of passion.

I see the soft petals of a flower

and my mind recalls images of smiles and

laughter which bloomed like roses

each day we were together.

I step into the sunlight of the day and know

my soul and its longing to touch once

more that which was,

that which is, inside me.

After all the years and tears have passed

My heart still reaches in the night

for you.
