The Gift of Love

               In his eyes, she glides

            like a phoenix across the sky

       not merely existing, but shining bright

     leaving a trail of love on the darkest night

             Oh, what a sight to behold!


             Un-fettered by earthly needs

         she soars above this world he holds

          And she spreads her love over him

          like a warm coat on a frosty night

        enveloping him in this magic she knows

                 so he can know too

       the wonderous way love can make you glow


          And he smiles her way as if to say

             "Thank you, for being here."

                But she already knows

     and she dips once more into the starry night

              with more love to bestow


      As she brushes by each star, they ignite

       and twinkle back down at him so bright

           as if to say, "I need you too;

      For, love cannot survive without a dream

       and now your dreams are real like me,

             pure and un-fettered too

        ...the way a dreamy love should be."


       He lifts his face and swipes at a tear

              moonbeams wash over him

             and he knows she is near

           because of the love he feels

                and does not hide


         His eyes follow her in the night

        as she flits about to his delight

         featherweight and so fragile too

           He reaches up with his hand

        ...to touch her would be so grand

        Yet, she winks and flutters thru


      But before she goes, she'll kiss the wind

          and watch him as he breathes it in

              inhaling love deep inside

      Then she'll plant a star into his eyes

        fill up the space right by his side

                  with her...

      the one that will make that star shine
