Between us flows a beauty

neither of us could create.

A love that feels from somewhere far away

has made a home amongst us.

And all we do is hold it

and hold on to the waves

that crash and roll around us

of something free and strange.

How it found us, why it chose us, how long it will remain

are all minor details compare to the question that I cling to

as we move in each others grace.

How do I protect this most delicate and sublime gift

delivered to my heart?

Like an ancient family heirloom

I know its not from this world.

Something made of far more than magic

and older than my soul.

All I have to wrap around us

and protect us from this world

is my everlasting gratitude

for each tear that wets my cheek

overflowing from within me of overwhelming joy.
