THINKING OF YOU I

                        Here I sit once more
                        My thoughts turn to you, my heart warms
                        As I see you within my mind's eye, my soul sighs
                        So happy to have another chance

                        Reading over and over
                        your words, your thoughts
                        My mind is silent
                        My heart and soul
                            burn
                        I ponder
                        what is this I feel, this burn?
                        It is not frightening, it does not hurt
                        My brow furrowed, I feel and wonder
                        Trying to name this sensation
                        My mind wakens from it's slumber
                        quietly it whispers
                        Love

                        A smile lights my face "yes, that's it"
                        I like it, I revel in it
                        My body, all warm and tingling
                        My mind, accepts
                        My heart, beats a different tune
                        My soul, shines with a new light
                        The smile widens
                        my eyes light up
                        my brow smoothes
                        Slowly I whisper "yes"
                        Louder, I speak "Yes!"

                        Liking the way acknowledgement feels
                        I speak it again
                        "Love, YES!"
                        A grin

                        Once more I sit
                         silent
                        Feeling the warmth from within
