Strum the strings of my heart.
Fragmented pieces that were once torn apart.
Wooden floors, earthy tones.
We glide…
Swaying back and forth on the veranda.
Allowing the wind to propel us in synchronous flow.
While the swing takes us effortlessly in motion.
Hand in hand.
The warmth of your body brings me peace.
No longer a dream or a wanting.
We are together.
Cemented like the weathered sidewalk.
Tethered…
We love creating melodies with interjected percussions.
Timeless as the trombone and trumpet.
Heartbeats syncopated orchestrated.
Peace…
A foundation that only time could produce.
It can never be replicated.
For in you, I find my home.
