The Beginning

"The Beginning"

All at once, out of a moment from another time
You appeared
Walked past my heart as a silent force I could not explain.
In a moment, as your words appeared, my mind followed each
with a familiarity I had not known before
Moments, so few, yet as powerful as a storm rising up, consuming the blue of a sky
All at once, you were gone
A pull of heart and mind, knew you'd return
All at once, you were here
And the warmth filled me
as a smile formed in recognition of a soul I've danced with before
Unfolding who we were, softly, surely and without reason
All at once, we knew
a question asked, a heart quaked with wonder
blushed cheek and sighs filled
As the words of fear held and you slowly caressed them free
Knowing who and what we were meant to be
Surrounded by the power of your heart
You held me in wonder for what seemed years in a moment
All at once
I was yours
