~ Reaching in Silence ~
by The Naked Muse



Reaching in Silence

I closed my eyes

Only for a moment

And listened intently

To the gentle lilt

Of your passion filled voice
As it drifted across my senses


On the gentle ocean breeze

I reached out my hand

Into the darkness of the night
Hoping to find you
There beside me
I knew I would find nothing.


But as I opened my eyes again,
I heard you softly whisper,
On the gentle ocean breeze


'Try again, my love.'
So, I closed my eyes and reached...


And there you were
