The Moment

Jacquie Burnham 1965 (Massachusetts)



This is the embrace I’ve longed for
You arms wrap around me
Like a cape of stars
Your essence fills my lungs as I breath in  
deep
Pine and Earth and Dusk
Your heartbeat is an orchestra  
playing
For only me to hear
I melt into you like
The sun melts into the horizon at sunset
I gaze up
Your face becomes the moon pulling me closer
Into your soul
In your eyes I see
A galaxy
And in THIS moment
I am where I belong
