We stared
in longing silence
connected
by our love
a hand in glove
some holy dove created
warmly sated
by the peace of
“why did this begin?”
you opened up
and I came in
And lying not
but lying on a hill
I asked for her
to climb, with me, this mountain
her yes inferred
we climbed the ragged hill
to spy
the burning bush
the sun is set
inside two lovers’ whistling tent
our eyes gone wet
I’ll place this bet
Please dance with me
the cadence set
love’s warm, exalted
pure duet
