About Love

And there was a light in the darkness

As tender were his words

Softening the storm of an empty heart

From promises unkept

Quieted those barren winds

By gentle hands

The faith that followed

On amethyst tide

Has swept me off my feet

And we stand together

The world still

Save for the beating of a single heart

He lifts me up

And warmth

Like a blanket surrounds me

Safe from all harm

Fills me

This is love

...
