Love's Gazing Dance
Tammie Swinehart 1974 (Mooresville, IN)
In this vast expanse, I find my place,
A realm of shadows, light's embrace,
From far apart, our eyes entwine,
Across the room, our souls align.
A sea of faces, noise and gleam,
Yet you're the one who steals my dream,
Through crowded tides, your beacon's strong,
Across the room, where I belong.
The fleeting seconds slow their flight,
As hearts connect, though out of sight,
A silent pull, a cosmic thread,
Across the room, our spirits spread.
In glances stolen, hearts conspire,
A dance of words, a hidden fire,
The distance shrinks, no walls to loom,
Across the room, love starts to bloom.
With every step, I close the gap,
Each moment's breath, a gentle tap,
My journey's end, my sacred quest,
Across the room, with you, I'm blessed.
Yet time betrays, it slips away,
The night departs, the end of day,
But in my heart, a spark will bloom,
For across the room, I found my bloom.
