there you are, take my hand, follow me to our place
where we go where no one knows only to be face to face
under starry skies above no moon to hide their lights
wrapped in our anticipation of all the things we might
forget about on our way that plagued our distance during day
the night air's chill our minds to grace ourselves into our secret place
to escape the modern throes of the world's awes and woes
only so we can be all of you and all of me
turn out the light that lead our steps wrap the blanket 'round ourselves
settle in our seated space breath in deeply take our place
warming next to each other no words needed even muttered
all else flees in this time where we forsake earthly designs
of demands and expectations in our now living designations
wrap our arms around you me holding ever close to be
without thought or expression leaving all anticipations
in the breaths we breathe as one where wordless moments unbecome
every mortal living thought forsaking all the ideas taught
quiten I next to you while you feel devotions truth
knowing only you and me can be here this way this free
restless longings all subside in our presence in these times
knowing that a touch of hand would spoil the moment with demands
rest your head on my shoulder release our worries to unburden
our weary souls longings for time to transverse and explore
wordless moments, stillness, quiet, heightened awareness in it's flight
to release, relate, untame, the expectancies of such a place
eyes exploring starry sky warm breaths clouding visions bright
in the chilly air around with nothing more than winter's sounds
silence wrapped around our beings solace mastered in our lingering
easing body, soul and mind where understanding can reside
between the two of us when there in our presence as we share
all the essence of what maintains our two lives on the these days
where we meet to become the more of us as we've learned
what the other truly is and what the other is there to give
beyond measured words of prose beneath the surface where we grow
into tender softened comforts lending all ourselves to wonderment
where nothing more is needed there but the other in which to share
a quiet place, time to breathe, a place to be and be let free
muscles relaxed, breathing smoothes, bodies at rest, minds now soothed
quenching wants, needs, and longings, receiving our place in belonging
to each other in our chosen place, during these moments face to face
where we go where no one knows only to be face to face
under starry skies above no moon to hide their lights
wrapped in our anticipation of all the things we might
forget about on our way that plagued our distance during day
the night air's chill our minds to grace ourselves into our secret place
to escape the modern throes of the world's awes and woes
only so we can be all of you and all of me
